Podcasts about Project portfolio management

Welcome back to Take the Leap Management, the podcast where we break down powerful leadership theories and management strategies that drive real results. Today, we're diving into Transactional Leadership Theory—a classic but often misunderstood model built on structure, supervision, and clear expectations. While it may not be flashy or inspirational, this leadership style is essential in high-stakes environments where rules matter and consistency is key. From the military to healthcare to large-scale project portfolios, transactional leadership ensures that work gets done—on time, by the book, and with accountability. Let's explore when structure outperforms inspiration—and why sometimes, following the rules is the smartest move a leader can make.

Welcome to Take the Leap Management, the podcast where we explore the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of project management. Today, we're tackling one of the biggest conversations around AI—its challenges and ethical concerns. From biases in AI models to data security risks and transparency issues, AI adoption isn't just about efficiency—it's about responsibility. How do we address workforce concerns about automation? How do we ensure AI is fair, secure, and trusted within project teams? Join me as we unpack the ethical side of AI, exploring how organizations can navigate these challenges and build a future where AI enhances, rather than disrupts, the way we work. Let's take the leap together!

Welcome to Take the Leap Management, the podcast where we explore bold ideas and game-changing innovations in project management. In today's episode, we're diving into one of the most exciting frontiers of AI—driving innovation in projects. Imagine having an AI-powered assistant that doesn't just optimize your workflow but actually helps uncover new opportunities, solve complex problems, and push the boundaries of what's possible. From predicting market trends to designing next-generation products, AI is fueling creativity and innovation like never before. But how does it actually work in practice? How can AI help project teams foster creativity, identify breakthrough ideas, and turn data into innovation? And what are the real-world success stories proving that AI isn't just about efficiency—it's about discovery? Join me as we explore how AI is revolutionizing the way we innovate, helping teams move faster, think bigger, and create smarter. Let's take the leap together!

Welcome back to The AI Revolution in Project Portfolio Management! Today, we're diving into one of AI's most transformative impacts—its role in decision-making for project portfolios. Managing a portfolio is complex, requiring tough choices on prioritization, resource allocation, and strategic alignment. Traditionally, these decisions have been shaped by financial forecasts, executive judgment, and sometimes internal politics. But AI is changing that, bringing data-driven insights and predictive analytics that help organizations make smarter, more objective decisions. In this episode, we'll explore how AI is reshaping project selection, risk management, and resource optimization, providing real-world examples of how organizations are leveraging AI to build more strategic and balanced portfolios. We'll also discuss the challenges, limitations, and the critical role of human judgment in working alongside AI. Let's get started!

Welcome back to Take the Leap Management and to the second episode of our series, The AI Revolution in Project Portfolio Management. In our last episode, we explored the transformative rise of AI in project portfolio management and how it's reshaping everything from decision-making to resource allocation. Today, we're narrowing our focus to a critical topic: how AI is revolutionizing the project selection process, helping organizations make smarter, more strategic decisions about which initiatives to pursue. If you've ever been part of project selection, you know it's no easy task. Balancing potential returns, strategic alignment, and innovation against risks and resources is a complex challenge, often clouded by subjectivity or politics. But what if AI could change all that—bringing clarity, objectivity, and speed to this pivotal process? In this episode, we'll unpack how AI evaluates projects, identifies synergies, and highlights risks to ensure that portfolios align with organizational goals. We'll also address the challenges of relying on AI, from data quality issues to the need for human judgment in areas AI can't fully measure, like innovation or employee morale. So, let's dive in and explore how AI is shaping the future of smarter project selection. Stay tuned—it's going to be a fascinating discussion!

In this first episode, we dive into The Rise of AI in Project Portfolio Management, examining AI's potential to address modern challenges in managing complex project portfolios while acknowledging its limitations. AI is no longer a futuristic concept—it's here, and organizations are already leveraging it for decision-making, resource allocation, and risk management. However, like any powerful tool, AI comes with risks and requires careful implementation.

In this episode, Dale and Val get into project management technology with a man who needs no introduction to the world of project systems, Dr Dan Patterson. Critical Path Methodology (CPM) - getting really long in the tooth - there has to be a better way!

We talk about the arrival of AI and what that could mean for jobs, workload and the way in which we plan projects. Dan goes into his experiences in risk workshops and various companies to help paint a picture of the future of project management.

When you've proven to your organization that project management delivers value, helping  everyone to accomplish more and stress less, invariably more people are interested in developing their project management skills too!  This shift is a testament to your good work, but also can present a variety of problems and opportunities.  If you're running a PMO, do you have the time to teach everyone how to develop their skills from zero to proficient when they are not necessarily leading the most critical and visible projects?  Likely you don't have time for that, but the payoff can be enormous for both the organization and your reputation as the go-to internal project guru.  In this episode, Dawn Mahan discusses the future of working more projectized and what this means for you, what "practical project management for everyone" looks like, and reflection/self-assessment questions and action taking ideas.    Resource Forecasting.

In this episode, Project journal editor Emma De Vita meets Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez, who is on a mission to champion project management as a central issue for every CEO. He is the author of Lead Successful Projects, published by Penguin, and he is also a Harvard Business Review author and has been recognised by Thinkers50 as an influential global business thinker. Antonio is the co-founder of the Strategy Implementation Institute, and his day job is as director of the Program Management Office at GlaxoSmithKline Vaccines. He is also a former chair of PMI. He has vast global experience leading complex projects, and previously worked as Head of Project Portfolio Management at BNP Paribas Fortis.  Antonio spoke to us about why and how project management and project managers need to become more strategic if they are to innovate. Projects are the future of organisations, but project managers need to sit at the top table, he argues. CEOs need to accept project management as part of the strategic conversation within their organisation, and project managers need to learn new skills and think about their role differently in order for this to happen. Antonio kindly shares his thoughts on how this can be done.

What a year it’s been, huh? This week, it’s time to do a little looking back… I am joined by William Volpe to talk about how applying a stronger project management process earlier in this COVID-19 global pandemic could have significantly influenced the outcomes we experienced this year. What’s interesting is that in many places around the world, people with project and program management experience were not put in charge of these response and recovery efforts, leaning more toward people that were respected as business leaders. How might this year have looked if project managers were at the helm? After all, we are the natural cat herders, the chaos managers, and the IMPACT Drivers. This is what we do best. Note that we recorded this episode earlier this year and we’re sharing it now as more of a retrospective on how things could have turned better with a stronger PM influence. Now, we’re looking at the distribution of vaccines around the world which is an enormous logistics challenge (aka perfect opportunity for project and program management).   Resource Forecasting.

Many PMOs fail to provide lasting value and become antithetical to strategy execution.   For a PMO looking to drive lasting strategic impact, resource management represents the surest path. I'm joined by Sean Pales who is the founder and ProSymmetry and Tempus Resource.  Recognized by Gartner Research and deployed globally and across the Global Fortune 1,000. PMOs are under constant pressure to deliver and you will learn why investing more aggressively in resource management will be beneficial.  If your organization is looking to address resource management, you'll learn where to start.  Additionally, if a PMO already has a PPM system in place, you will learn how to identify the resource management deficiences.      Resource Forecasting Capacity Planning.  Purpose Built.    “ProSymmetry provides a resource management solution accessible to the masses.” -Gartner, “Cool Vendors in Project Portfolio Management” .fusion-button.button-1 {border-radius:2px;}LEARN MORE       Thanks for taking the time to check out the podcast!

PMI Talent Triangle: Strategic and Business Management Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers! Today we are talking about how we can best incorporate the best of project portfolio management into what the PMO does. Especially from a services and capability perspective.  I am honored to have a guest with me that I consider a friend and a colleague and one of my favorite thought leaders in this space, Andy Jordan. Andy is the president  of Roffensian Consulting S.A., a Honduras based management consulting firm with fabulous views of the water every single day. I'm so jealous and he has that. Andy’s organization has a strong emphasis on organizational transformation, portfolio management, and PMO specifically.  Andy was a part of the PMO IMPACT Summit last year and he was one of our highest rated speakers, so we brought him back to the Summit again this year. You can get all of the information on his upcoming presentation and more information about Andy at PMOIMPACTSummit.com. Learn the best-kept secrets to creating a PMO that drives IMPACT.  Join us for the PMO IMPACT Summit..fusion-button.button-320 {border-radius:2px;}Register for FreeProject Portfolio Management and the Role of the PMOLaura: Andy, I would love to get your perspective on project portfolio management and the role of the PMO, and why it's important for us to be thinking differently about that role? Andy: I think there is a lot of good stuff that has been done with portfolio management and PMOs have been at the heart of that. But there is still a long way to go. Fundamentally a lot of organizations don't quite have the right grasp of what portfolio management should be, and I think PMOs can help solve some of those problems. Laura: Why don't we give some perspective here and talk a little bit about what do we mean when we're talking project portfolio management.? Let's go a hundred thousand foot view and then maybe we can talk a little bit about what's working, what's not working and the role of the PMO and all of that.  Andy: Sometimes the easiest way to think of what project portfolio management is to think about what it isn't.  It's not a roll up of projects and programs that you just so happen to be doing right now. The portfolio has to come first. The portfolio is the vehicle by which an organization executes on strategy. So if the executives say, “all right, this year we're going to increase our revenue by 5% we're going to reduce our costs by 10% we're going to increase customer satisfaction by three points,” whatever it might be. Those are the goals and objectives. The portfolio is the vehicle we use to actually deliver on that.  We'll have projects that sit within that portfolio, but those projects can come and go. It's the portfolio that's key and we have to make sure that the portfolio delivers results. Delivers results is the key piece here. We're not interested in delivering projects. We do, but we're interested in delivering business outcomes as a result of those projects. We're interested in improving revenue, decreasing costs, increasing customer satisfaction. That's the measure of success for the portfolio. Laura: Yes. I'm so glad you said that because I feel like I am constantly talking about we've got to stop emphasizing so much the outputs we're creating and shift our focus to the outcomes we're driving. As PMO leaders, it is super important that we help facilitate that mindset shift in our organization. Often times, PMO leaders will get so caught up in the “how manys”  and the “how much” versus the IMPACT they're making. When if we think more about the outcomes we're creating for the organization and driving towards those outcomes, we will be so much more aligned with where the organization is trying to go and where they're thinking. Andy: Absolutely. You know, if you're an investor in an organization, if you own shares in a company, do you care that they did 10 projects this year or a hundred...

What does the PMBOK® Guide - 6th Edition say about Quality? It refers to the cost of Quality. And there is a cost to quality – in terms of both money and time. But lack of quality also has a cost. Being able to measure quality helps us to juggle and flex project requirements. How exactly does quality fit into the overall project scheme? Is optimum quality even a high priority of any given project? The Project Manager who is well informed and kept up to date on the full program perspective is better poised to make intelligent decisions about the give and take of project components in order to achieve the quality that maximizes value.       Listen, learn, and get a free PDU!

Two recent client exchanges are worth sharing. The first was a visit to Tesla’s Gigafactory site in Nevada, the second a series of conversations with a director at a major health care consortium. Both on the drive to the Gigafactory site with a client and as a passenger on numerous Uber trips in Reno, discussion about the local area centered on the tectonic transformation occurring in the Reno/Sparks area. Viewing the corporate infrastructure footprint of not just Tesla, but other companies such as Amazon, Apple and Switch makes one think of the vision leading to this transformation. On the other hand, my discussion with the health care director focused almost exclusively on the process of implementing a single Project Portfolio Management software tool. Interestingly, the director mentioned concerns about internal survey scores and how to compete for talent in the Silicon Valley area. Not a word about improved lives through healthcare or any mention of people. Robert Sutton and Huggy Rao’s book Scaling Up Excellence came to mind, especially chapter three which focuses on finding the “hot cause,” or overarching purpose that must be driven through an organization. Not just words on a poster in the lobby, but relentlessly demonstrated as the core mission and even better aligned with one’s Personal Leadership Philosophy. Think about that. How well and how frequently do you communicate the big picture rather than the immediate project at hand to your team? Leaders share vision and purpose.

Culture what is it, does your business have one? Gerald J. Leonard understands the challenges that business owners face as they struggle with culture confusion, too many number one priorities, lacking consensus among key leaders and misalignment of their mission, vision, and values.  He is an international expert on the topics of Developing a Culture That Works, Strategy Implementation, and Project Portfolio Management and is also a professional bassist. He is the author of Culture Is The Bass: 7 Principles for Developing A Culture That Works and has an upcoming book, Symphonic Culture: Unify, Strategize, and Execute Collectively for Optimum Results Culture is the intangible and almost emotional connection that people have with a company or family or organization. Gerald thinks culture is the foundation of the place where you get great music baselines. It creates a framework of the bass and it’s like the physical bond that all other women who have similar cultures. It has different cultures that propelled people away from each other. Each influences our perspective and it also causes the characters of the organization. VISSION: Every business, every organization, every family and every individual has created. Has some form a culture of how they are living. It really boils down to their overall vision for their life. VALUES: This is how they live now and they are made here which creates this culture. A culture that is pleasant, exciting, fun, and serving helpful art that can be one that’s very toxic but everyone has. And sometimes, people are not sure how they develop them. MISSION: If people have a business, they should want to have an organization that they want to grow. Having people that will be loyal to them consistently. Meaning having a positive attitude of employees which relates to the culture of the company. The key learning here is discipline. People need to have a clear vision or a clear track of where they want to go. They need to look those three things. People have to step back and visualize “What do we want our culture to be?”.  One way to do that has the business owners ask their customers since they know their clients and what they want. These questions will be your core values which are going to help business owners implement into their system, whether it’s integrity whether it’s customer service first, whether it’s excellence in each branch certifications, these are the things that customers admire and what business owners will have to live for. At times it does call for some challenging times where business owners have people on their team that doesn’t realize they don’t live according to these, sadly they would need part ways with these set of people in order to maintain the vision, values, and mission that they have for their company.  Critical decisions are made because everything needs to be aligned to really make a difference. A good company culture takes work to build an anchor for a long-term sustainable business. In terms of hiring, a company needs to be able to hire people that  fit into their culture. Meaning they could already see that the person is able to transform after developing the skills they have and understanding the story behind the company. They understand the vision, the values that the owner has for the company. It doesn’t have to be complicated, each of them should be able to share their best practices.  The proper mindset to be able to do the job. Because companies want to be set by people who can tough it out but at the same time will always have the same mentality in understanding the main vision and values of the company. And that is their accountability. It’s very important for each person to be able to hold the core values and criteria of the company because then they truly understand the culture of whom they are working for and what the company can do for them in return. And that’s what a good business is. You may visit this website for more details about Gerald J.
