Title

They Just Don’t Get It: Fixing the Executive Disconnect

ABSTRACT

Ever feel like your execs just don’t get the PMO? You’re not alone. All too often, project professionals speak the language of governance, process, and delivery while executives are focused on outcomes, risk, and strategic value. The result? Misunderstandings, missed opportunities, and projects that fail to deliver. In this session we tackle the executive-PMO disconnect head-on.

We’ll explore how to reframe your messaging so it resonates in the boardroom, how to position your PMO as a driver of business value (not just governance police), and how to make the CFO, COO, and CEO actually want you in the room. If you're ready to stop being sidelined and start being heard, this one's for you.
