Project Control Manager at Eni SpA,17 Jan 2026 at 08:20 pm📊 PMO Revolution: From Bureaucratic Overhead to Strategic Value Engine
(Based on PMI’s 2025 PMO Practice Guide)
🏛️ The PMO Identity Crisis is Over: No More “One-Size-Fits-All”
Traditional PMO thinking is dead. The era of forcing organizations into rigid PMO categories (directive, supportive, controlling) is over. Research shows the most successful PMOs worldwide don’t fit neatly into predefined boxes—they create customized approaches that perfectly match their organization’s unique DNA.
The Cube Analogy: Imagine six stakeholders each looking at one side of a cube. Each sees something different but correct. Traditional PMO models were like insisting everyone see the same side. The new paradigm? Acknowledge all perspectives and build a 3D solution.

Therapist-Coach at Joy Langley,16 Jan 2026 at 03:27 pmI am a therapist-coach and I work with business owners and ambitious professional who feel tired, wired, and that they are wasting time. If you are putting in the time effort and expertise – and still feel like you’re behind …it shouldn’t be that way (and with me it won’t.) I believe these are the symptoms of a much bigger problem. You don’t need a better app. A stricter routine. Or more willpower. The problem you need to audit is – how why and what you spend your energy on. I help you figure out what’s quietly sabotaging your focus, mood, and ability to make good decisions.
