PMO Decay: Why Your Transformation Is Behind Schedule
65% of large transformations fail. The cause is usually a PMO that values reporting over results.
Most PMOs are expensive weather stations. They tell you it is raining while you are already wet. Project failure rates for large transformations sit at 65%.
The issue is not the methodology. It is the culture. A PMO should drive ROI, not just produce Gantt charts. Data management alone offers a 348% ROI when executed correctly.
If your PMO cannot quantify the value it adds each month, it is a cost center. Cut it or fix it. Demand real-time visibility and brutal honesty in reporting.
