"Not Your Usual Dry And Boring PMO Guidebook.
The words fly off the page and Baker's easy humour makes this an engaging read. Don't be mistaken though, the content is spot on. If you want your PMO to succeed, or if you need to refresh it, start by reading this book."
Valdi Gravitis, Founder NSW Whole of Gov. PMO Community of Practice
Is Your PMO Cursed to Fail?
Have you ever stopped and considered how deep the PMO graveyard in your organisation is?
3 deep?
...5?
More?
The multi-million dollar question is: Are you doing anything different?
Or is your PMO cursed to fail too?
Almost every organisation has tried at least once to build a functioning and sustainable Project, Program or Portfolio Management Office ...And almost every organisation has failed.
Well, I have dug up the skeletons, avoided the zombies, aired out the tombs, outrun the boulders and uncovered the common cause of PMO death. Want to know what I found?
The PMOs Were Worthless!
But all isn't lost. What if I said that you could reverse the trend?
Could you be the hero who pulls the sword from the stone and stops the curse?
Let this guide be the Merlin to your King Arthur. It contains everything you will need to finally break the cycle (while showing everyone else, once again, that you can achieve the impossible).
So, You Want to Create a High Value PMO?
What landed you here?
- Perhaps you are frustrated with the lack of logic in allocating change investment?
- Or maybe you are staring at an overwhelming number of reports, systems, frameworks and methodologies?
- Do your project managers need a capability boost?
- Or is it that the information you need just isn't there?
- Maybe you are about to commence a large program of work?
- Or is it just chaos - and your projects are running amok.
No matter the reason you are here, I've got some great news. This guide will help.
This guide is for you if you have just been tasked with setting up a new PMO, and you want to do it right.
Equally, this guide is for you if your office is well established but you just aren't getting the results you expected.
In short - this guide is for you if you need to create entirely new levels of value through your PMO.
What You Can Expect From This Guide
This isn't some half-arsed, 10 page, 'ultimate guide to X' written by a copywriter to drive more clicks.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
