Need help building internal competency?
For those needing a more hands-on approach, PMO Strategies offers many levels of coaching, onsite training, and consulting for business leaders and PMOs responsible for creating effective and sustainable change, building a PMO, or implementing Project Management capability.

Speaking Bio
Hi, I’m Laura!
I’m passionate about helping individuals and organizations effectively leverage their resources to deliver superior and sustainable IMPACT and bring their PMOs to the strategy table.
Those that know me, know that I’m incredibly passionate about helping individuals and organizations effectively leverage their resources and develop their own capabilities to deliver superior and sustainable results consistently, driving ever higher return on investment. I really don’t stop until we have, together, transformed you, your team and your organization into an IMPACT Engine System™.
For more than two decades, I’ve been helping business leaders in a broad range of organizations, from nonprofits to global financial institutions, get the results they crave. It’s all about combining my years of experience applying battle-testing techniques in the PMO and Change Management space with my passion for helping people get things done.
That’s what it’s all about…
Many times we talk about the PMO or project management as the outcome and it’s not. The business changes we are creating are the real IMPACT we make when we build a PMO or put in place project management practices. Remembering that is the key to our success!
In 2021, I was named the Global PMO influencer of the Year, the only award of its kind in the world, by the PMO Global Alliance. This award tells me that we’re doing the right things and our efforts to shake up this industry and the way the world sees and values the PMO is working!
I welcome you to check out our popular PMO Strategies Podcast to learn the game-changing techniques that are transforming the industry.
I’m looking forward to helping you make a bigger IMPACT, my friend!
How we give back to the industry…
We truly believe that project managers are uniquely positioned to help organizations have a greater impact. That’s why our Founder is also the Co-Founder of Project Management for Change, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to unleash the boundless potential of the Project Management Profession to empower and transform communities around the world.
PM4Change’s signature event, the Project Management Day of Service (PMDoS)®, brings together thousands of project managers with hundreds of nonprofit leaders every year across the globe to change the world, one project at a time.
Prior to starting Project Management for Change, Laura served on nonprofit and association boards for more than 16 years including multiple Project Management Institute (PMI) chapters, Virginia International University, and Goodwill Industries, as well as the advisory board for Computer Aid, Inc. – a community conscious organization.
