207: Executive Buy-In

Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers! PMI Talent Triangle: Business Acumen (Strategic and Business Management) Hey, IMPACT Driver!   Last week, I shared that one of the ways to get critical executive buy-in quickly is to shift your focus from a process-first approach to a principles-first approach.  In this week’s episode, I walk you through the specific steps you MUST take to win over your executives, align your organization with its strategic goals, and secure the critical support you need to make a lasting IMPACT with your PMO.   I share some key insights that I teach our IMPACT Engine System™ students to help you effectively communicate the value of your PMO and build strong relationships with decision-makers.  From understanding the executive perspective to demonstrating quick wins (and even addressing resistance along the way), I’m covering it all!  If you want to learn more about executive buy-in beyond this episode, the best way to do so is to register for this year's IMPACT Summit. This virtual one-week experience connects you with thousands of PMO and strategy delivery leaders through presentations, workshops, and live discussions, all for FREE!  Join me for this episode to learn how to earn executive buy-in for your PMO so that you can achieve greater efficiency, improved project outcomes, and a lasting IMPACT for your organization.  Enjoy!  P.S. - The world’s largest virtual conference for PMO, strategy, and transformation leaders is BACK in September!
