PMO Decay: Wasting 10% of Every Project Pound
PMOs are wasting 9.9% of project investments. Stop the decay with Simplif-i.
Your PMO is likely a cost centre disguised as a governance body. In 2026, UK organisations are wasting 9.9% of every pound invested in projects due to poor performance. This is not just a loss; it is a systemic failure of project delivery.
The failure rate of PMOs remains staggering, with 75% failing within their first three years. Why? Because they focus on administrative box-ticking rather than commercial outcomes. If your PMO cannot demonstrate a direct ROI on your project spend, it is part of the problem.
Project decay is often invisible until it is too late. Sunk costs, scope creep, and resource misallocation are the hallmarks of a weak PMO. You need real-time visibility into project health, not a spreadsheet that was updated three weeks ago.
Simplif-i provides the executive-grade data required to stop project waste. Don't be another statistic in the £250bn UK project failure pile. Demand better from your delivery teams.
