In this webinar, you’ll see how leading PMOs escape overload by fixing the system – uniting strategy, funding, and capacity into one transparent decision framework. PMOs everywhere are drowning in demand, fixed budgets, and overworked teams. The real problem isn’t lazy people or bad project managers – it’s a broken governance system where planning, funding, and capacity sit in silos. That makes it almost impossible to see the big picture, say “no”, and focus on what really matters. In this session, Stuart Easton is joined by Rebecca Reynolds, Mike Hannan, and Dr Frederic Casagrande to discuss how high‑performing PMOs are breaking the cycle of overload and earning a real seat at the strategy table. You’ll learn: Why “do more projects” thinking guarantees overload, delays, and failure How misaligned executives, siloed funding, and unclear strategy create constant firefighting Practical ways to cut project load and increase portfolio throughput (yes, really) How to unite strategy, funding, and capacity into a single decision framework Governance fixes that stop the “loudest voice wins” project prioritization How to talk to executives in their language (not PMO jargon) so they actually listen What questions to ask to move your PMO from reporting centre to strategic partner Chapters 00:00 – Welcome + Why PMOs Are Stuck Firefighting 01:29 – PMO vs Execs: Why Priorities Don’t Align 02:14 – Introducing the Panel: Experts in PMO Strategy + Governance 05:39 – Inside the Boardroom: Why Strategy Breaks Down 07:28 – Why PMO Communication Fails Across the Organization 09:57 – Don’t Educate Execs on PM Life — Speak Their Language 13:00 – Overload, Burnout & Culture: Post‑Covid PMO Challenges 15:05 – The Head, Neck & Body: A Model for Strategy Execution 17:15 – The Portfolio Titanic: Why Too Many Priorities Stall Delivery 18:58 – The Real Root Cause of Delays: Overload, Not Execution 21:56 – The Hidden Costs: Burnout, Turnover & Portfolio Chaos 23:15 – How to Influence Upwards Without Sounding Like You’re Complaining 25:39 – How ‘Loudest Voice Wins’ Kills Prioritization 27:56 – The Exec‑Friendly PMO Script: ‘In Order to Achieve X, We Must…’ 30:04 – Why Strategy Is NOT a List of Projects 34:41 – Cut 50% of Projects to Double Throughput (The Rule of Fifties) 36:58 – Why Getting Exec Access Is So Hard (and How to Break Through) 40:45 – How to Get Exec Attention in 30 Seconds or Less 44:05 – The Governance Gap: The #1 Root Cause of PMO Firefighting 46:49 – Case Study: 120 Projects Started… Only 20 Delivered 51:48 – The Four Fixes: Strategy, Governance, Culture, External Support 54:59 – Why PMOs Must Speak the Language of the Business 57:15 – Closing + Next Steps to Build a Strategic PMO If this was a wake‑up call for your PMO… 🔔 Subscribe for more webinars on PMO strategy, project prioritization, and portfolio governance 👉 Share this with a PMO leader or sponsor who keeps asking, “Why is everything always on fire?” 🧠 Learn more about portfolio prioritisation and decision frameworks at https://www.transparentchoice.com Let us know in the comments: What does “firefighting” look like in your organization – too many projects, unclear priorities, or constant last‑minute exec demands?
