If you’ve ever watched a PMO do everything right and still lose the room, you already know the frustrating part: it wasn’t the framework. In nearly two decades building PMOs across UAE and GCC government, energy and enterprise organizations, I’ve learned that the PMOs that get defunded are rarely the ones with weak methodology.
