Book excerpt: Accelerate delivery of your organization’s strategy and transform results for the whole organization. Things aren’t getting done in your company, and the C-suite is unhappy. They’re blaming it on the project managers. It’s up to you to set up new processes and standards, but are you being set up to fail? Laura Barnard has been there. She knows that the usual approaches don’t address the real problems and they don’t involve the people who really need to be involved. In The IMPACT Engine, Barnard provides the six stages of her successful system, an iterative value delivery framework that will continuously elevate your team’s capabilities and services to support the full strategy lifecycle. She brings stories from her own experience and the experiences of those she has trained, giving you detailed resources and worksheets to guide you through the process. Beginning with the keys to adopting the right mindset, Barnard leads you through assessing the organization and getting to know all the stakeholders, defining the services that will have the highest impact, planning the journey of delivering that impact, delivering sustainable value, and then using those learnings and results to evolve your organization—so you can continue the cycle and deliver more and better each time. Delivering change in organizations often seems difficult. Barnard shows the way to lead effective change by involving everyone—decreasing workload and increasing efficiency in the process.

Book excerpt: This book analyze the role and the best practices of the Project Management Officer (PMO), a strategic function for those organizations, which are focused on the technological transformation and the digitalization of their own business. The author decided to activate a comparison between the competencies and the experiences typical of the professionals and the managers’ concrete activities, in order to connect two different views. This project, aimed to connect practice and theory and create a knowhow useful for companies’ activity, has identify six primary themes. First of all, it propose a predictive model for current organizations, meant as idiosyncratic combination of projects and processes. They then analyze the concept and the role of PMO, as central figure in determining the efficient control for the transformational process, as required by the business digitalization. Another chapter is related to a critical analysis of the company’s functions that a PMO could do (they are mostly seven). The different activities’ combinations create different PMO’s models, which have to be plan in correspondence of the different business’s needs. Another important analysis concerns the coding processes related to the project’s knowhow (reporting, Project Review Meeting, issue logs, i.e.). Peculiar attention is given to the risk management, topic that is always more central in a dynamic environment, oriented to the resources’ optimization. This contest is completed in the last chapter, in which are reported some considerations from interviews made at CIOs of leading companies, about IT and project management issues.
