PMO Strategies IMPACT Partnership Portal
Making a Bigger IMPACT Together for Our Prospects and Clients
A value-focused, results-driven PPM software does nothing for clients who can’t easily integrate it into their existing PMO strategy.
This means the key to more new clients, deeper and long lasting relationships, and expanding business with existing clients is minimizing the implementation friction required to integrate your software into their organization.
It’s no secret your company’s software can drive forward results. There’s a reason you’re an industry leader.
However, despite your prospects’ best intentions, the internal fear of implementation friction, inability to influence, and lack of top level support stops prospects cold in their tracks when it’s time to execute.
And these same realities hinder some of your existing clients from committing to a deeper business relationship over the long-term.
We understand how to solve these problems.
How We’ll Support Your Company’s Growth
Acquire New Business
Deepen Existing Relationships
Maximize Client Lifetime Value
guaranteeing a long, win-win relationship.
Let us help you get your PMO leaders a seat at the table to support the IMPACT of your solutions!
Why PMO Strategies is the Right Strategic Partner for Your Company
We thoroughly understand why most PMOs fail:
- PMO Leaders aren’t positioned as strategic business partners
- PMO Leaders don’t have the influence necessary to execute
- PMO Leaders lack a proven approach to strategy delivery
And when a PMO fails, they push blame onto the easiest target – the software they’re using.
That’s where we come in.
PMO Leaders must understand, adopt, integrate, and fully leverage your PPM software with minimum implementation friction in order to accelerate success.
Executives will be hesitant to commit and quick to leave if it feels like it’s just another complex situation to unpack before it can return real value – slowing them down further.
We understand just how frustrating this can be for the client looking for a solution to streamline their project process and a PPM software provider who understands their software is the solution they’re looking for.
We specialize in empowering PMOs to drive measurable business value and ROI for their organization’s strategy by elevating the PMO leaders, shifting their mindset from outputs to outcomes, and transforming the way they define and deliver value. We also understand a key accelerator of strategy delivery is properly leveraging a results-driven, value-focused PPM solution to grow and scale that success.
By combining our unique system for delivering company value with your company’s suite of strategic solutions, we can position any PMO for high-IMPACT success.
This means increased client retention, higher likelihood of
software expansion, and elevated brand reputation for you.

If the PMO is not providing the ideal business value according to the executives, the PMO leader will have trouble getting a seat at the table, influencing change, and getting funding for your solution (now and in the future). It’s critical that PMO leaders are clear on where they should focus their energy, how to implement your solution to enable business change, and bring people with them through the process so they don’t hit resistance.

Your implementation could get stuck for a variety of reasons we’ve covered in the other sections. Additionally, it might be that they are trying to push too hard toward a solution for software and they are hitting resistance to change. In this case, we highly recommend sending them to us to go through the IMPACT Engine System. We’ll show them how to get your implementation moving in a way that builds strong stakeholder buy-in and support. We’ll also help them fix any gaps they’ve created by starting with a software solution before they have a strong foundation in place.

If your prospect is stuck, it might be that they are not sure where to start, don’t understand their role, or believe they need to have tons of process and templates in place before they start. Alternatively, they may not have the buy-in necessary to move forward. Resources on many of the other tabs can help and sometimes it can be helpful to just help them realize that good PPM is a great place to start.

Sometimes, they reach out to you and learn A LOT from their conversations and it makes them realize they aren’t quite ready to proceed. First, know that we have a service that can help them through the software selection process. We will remain agnostic in that process, but as a partner, we can always point how the things they may not realize about how your solution will work for them. We can also help them get moving by realizing what they should do and how they can make progress quickly.
