Writing on delivery, strategy,
and the work that matters
These articles are written from experience, not from research papers or consulting frameworks. We write about what we see in organisations, what we believe about delivery and leadership, and what we think the project management profession gets wrong.
If something here provokes a reaction, ie. an agreement or otherwise, we'd welcome the conversation.

PMO vs. EPMO vs. VMO vs. PMO-as-a-Service: Which One Do You Actually Need?
A PMO governs delivery within a function. An EPMO owns portfolio choice across the enterprise. A VMO is measured on value realised, not projects delivered. PMO-as-a-Service rents the capability rather than building it.
That's the short answer. The longer one is that choosing between them isn't really a question about org design, it's a question about what's actually broken, and most organisations diagnose that wrongly.
Why Strategy Dies Between the Boardroom and the Front Line
Every organisation has watched a strategy die. The offsite goes well, the priorities are sharp, everyone means it, and eighteen months later nothing has changed. This is why it happens, told through the four points where a strategy loses its signal on the way from the boardroom to the people who have to deliver it.
