PMO Decay: The 80% Failure Rate You Are Funding but Not Fixing
80% of UK PMOs are failing to deliver ROI. If your PMO is just tracking status rather than driving delivery, you are subsidising inefficiency.
Status reports do not equal progress. 80% of Project Management Offices (PMOs) in the UK fail to justify their existence through measurable ROI. They have become administrative cost centres rather than delivery engines. This is PMO decay.
A PMO that cannot link its activities to bottom-line impact is a luxury no business can afford in 2026. We audit your portfolio to identify the 20% of projects that deliver 80% of the value. The rest should be terminated.
Simplif-i builds PMOs that act as execution partners, not record keepers. We focus on velocity, ROI, and risk mitigation. If your projects are consistently late and over budget, your PMO is part of the problem. Fix it.
