People in this thread acting like IMO/SMO work is not PMO. Lmao

That is absolutely not true. There are plenty of misconceptions about the work done, and plenty of criticism that could be levelled at the firms...but this isn't it.

Never done that, also don’t know peers or leadership I work with who’ve done it (I know it’s a small sample). MBB is too expensive for PMO work and the likes of it

like

Also never done a transformation. Know a lot of people who do - a minority in pure PMO roles, the others are doing much more

Less than 30% of our work is PMO and change management. And hate to break it to you anyway, with AI growth, change management will actually be one of our strongest selling points.

So did you do it 4 years ago? I kid I kid

I don’t know any client that could afford MBB for PMO work…

I worked with a 28 person team from MBB at a client engaged to produce a style guide and review / format a few external docs (very large ones though) for alignment with said style guide. MBB had no input to content in these docs.

I’ve heard of these type of projects, but they’re not the norm / majority
