“PMO Joe”

A PMO without Purpose manages Projects and Resources, but a Purpose Driven PMO empowers People to deliver Results.

Purpose is the key ingredient igniting an impactful and sustainable PMO culture.

The prime role of leadership is to mobilize people and organizations towards a purpose that enhances the experience of life.

People with a clear sense of purpose experience life in a more fulfilling way. Organizations with a clear purpose exponentially outperform the rest.

What is the purpose of your life? What is the purpose of your organization? And how will you transform it into a strategy? - Michael Kouly

Fewer than 20% of leaders have a strong sense of their own individual purpose. Even fewer can distill their purpose into a concrete statement.

Just as problematic, hardly any of them have a clear plan for translating purpose into action. As a result, they limit their aspirations and often fail to achieve their most ambitious professional and personal goals.
