PMO Strategies

What PMO Strategies does

PMO Strategies is a privately held, founder-owned professional services firm founded in 2013 by Laura Barnard and headquartered in Virginia, USA. The company provides consultation, training, coaching, certification, and strategic planning services aimed at helping organizations close the strategy-execution gap and elevate PMOs from administrative functions into strategic business partners. It serves three primary customer groups: PMO and transformation leaders seeking to demonstrate value to executives; project and change managers looking to advance from tactical delivery to outcome leadership; and enterprise organizations seeking to build team-level strategy delivery capability.

The firm's core asset is the IMPACT Engine System, a proprietary, trademarked six-stage operating model framework (Mindset, Assess, Define, Plan, Deliver, Evolve) that constitutes the company's intellectual property backbone. The product portfolio is layered around this framework: free top-of-funnel content (podcast with 366+ episodes, blog, newsletter, free training); entry-level programs (IMPACT Engine Fundamentals, IMPACT Driver Foundation); the IMPACT Inner Circle Membership (recurring revenue); tiered certifications (IMPACT Engine Practitioner Level 1, IMPACT Engine Leader/Consultant Level 2); high-touch coaching (IMPACT Accelerator Mastermind); and enterprise services (custom cohort training, hands-on consulting, and software selection). The book "The IMPACT Engine" extends the framework to a broader audience.

PMO Strategies operates a hybrid GTM combining community-led, event-driven, and enterprise field-sales motions. Revenue is diversified across professional services (consulting, coaching, speaking), subscription training and certification programs, and recurring membership fees. The company is bootstrapped with no external institutional funding and operates with a small 1-10 person team, relying heavily on founder-led content and a network of related entities (Global Transformation Group, Project Management for Change nonprofit, and PPM software partners Planview, Sciforma, and Meisterplan).
