PMO Strategies 338: What Role Do PMOs Play in Delivering Value? with Trevor Nelson
Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers!
PMI Talent Triangle: Business Acumen
If you’ve spent any time in project delivery, you’ve probably heard the phrase “delivering value” more times than you can count. Leaders talk about driving outcomes, creating value streams, and measuring benefits. Yet right when you think everyone’s aligned on what that means, it becomes clear that no one’s talking about the same thing.
In this episode, I’m joined by Trevor Nelson, a seasoned project leader who’s helped organizations across industries redefine how they see and deliver value. Together, we explore what value truly is, where it lives across the project lifecycle, and the critical role the PMO plays in protecting that intent from idea to outcome.
You’ll Learn:
✅ Why “value” isn’t a fixed metric and changes based on intent and perception.
✅ How to identify where value really lives across the project continuum.
✅ The difference between producing deliverables and delivering outcomes.
✅ Why PMOs must be involved early to guide alignment and sustain intent.
✅ How focusing on intent turns the PMO into a trusted business partner.
👉 Press play to learn how redefining value can transform your PMO from a process office into a true strategic navigator that protects intent, accelerates outcomes, and drives measurable IMPACT.
