USE YOUR VALUE TO
GET BACK IN FRONT, PMO!
Do your executives know all you can do to help them improve the business?
It's not about running projects. It's about being a strategic partner who can deliver and quantify value every single day.
If you're ready to advance your current PMO, we're here to help.
RECLAIM YOUR STATUS
Sadly, the PMO is under siege. Companies want to dissolve them. Associates see them as a stop sign. Agilists avoid them.
And now, executives are confused about the PMO's value. Their top 3 concerns?
- Lack of strategic partnership
- Slow delivery
- Poor communication + transparency
You have an advantage here, though...evidence of the value you bring.
OFFER SOMETHING NEW
Even internal business is a competitive game. Play to win. To beat others at their own game, create something that everyone wants...but that only you have.
Instead of yet another new PMO management tool, build a portfolio of prized innovations that puts your teams in high demand.
Get back in front. Give executives something new, stunning, and impossible to ignore.
DON'T SAY IT. SHOW IT.
Business is visual. Your PMO should be, too.
- Show the organization where it's going. Use visual assets instead of long documents and reports.
- Make it easy to see the solutions you're delivering.
- And most importantly, make your value visual...and visible.
CHANGE THE VIEW SO ALL CAN SEE YOUR VALUE
PRODUCTS YOU CAN INTRODUCE NOW TO ENHANCE VISIBILITY + VALUE
FROM PROJECTS TO PRODUCTS
Changing perception means changing your strategy.
It's time to think of products as more than just software. You can build and release exclusive PMO business products that are smart, visual, interactive...and in high demand.
Your advantage? Getting there first with exclusive products that others need but can't get on their own.
FROM WORDS TO VISUALS
Until collaborative, infinite whiteboarding tools such as Miro, there has been no way to show the big picture and illuminate the connections (markers) among hundreds of artifacts in your world.
Now, a single chizu (the Japanese word for map), on a single board, gives you the power to:
- Lay everything out on a stunning map with all product assets in one place
- Surface--and solve--problems faster
- Promote visual thinking, visual work
- Flip how your company views the PMO
CHIZU: A BUSINESS MAP
Chizu is the Japanese word for map. As a powerful tool for the PMO, it lets you show an entire initiative or product or strategy...all in one place.
In other words, a chizu is a picture of your business.
Help executives see the journey of the company's most critical initiatives. Find the critical markers. Connect the dots. Create the visual evidence of how your PMO is leading the way.

A MAP OF YOUR ENTIRE INITIATIVE
Showing your entire initiative as a product, on a single map, gets you back in front. Go beyond...with annotations, talk tracks, and markers that show the what and why.
Illustrate correlations, issues, and impacts so execs can easily see what's really important...and where they can take action to support you.
A comprehensive map is a breakthrough for PMOs.
Even better, we make it easy. We build your visual business map as part of our engagement...and we'll show your team how to build one, too.
YOUR OWN PMO AGILE PRACTICE
Agile isn't going away anytime soon. But everyone's ready for additional Agile value.
You should run your own Agile initiative. Not an IT Agile one. An Agile PMO one.
Whether it's your new internal marketing campaign, tnew delivery planning strategies, or visual problem-solving sequences, we'll also teach your PMO leaders how to run a true Agile PMO initiative.
We have the Agile track record to support you. Here are some of the companies we moved from traditional software delivery to Agile:
Walmart, Nationwide Insurance, Cisco, Samsung, Mutual of Omaha, Johnson + Johnson, Pfizer, Capital One, BMC Software, Cintas, ZTE, and Fulton Bank
Frankly, we've had these successes only because we learned early on to partner with--not dismiss--the PMO.
EVIDENCE OF CONSTANT VALUE
We create PMO assets that visually demonstrate your value:
- PMO to VMO: showing and quantifying value
- Targeted strategic campaigns that systematically deliver an unmet need
- Value events such as value stream mapping and scenario planning
- Campaign elements that can be repurposed for future opportunities
- Stunning visuals that elevate the PMO to a completely different level
- And of course, your map, which we include in everything we deliver
