But remember \u2013 analytical tools work best when \u201cparameters are known, assumptions are minimal, and the future is not fuzzy.\u201d\u00a0 A rare state for PMOs.<\/p>\n<p>Never focus on your fishing gear alone.\u00a0 Just changing lures will rarely attract more fish.\u00a0 In PMOs, changing up your process, tools or templates will never attain achievement.\u00a0 The core of the matter is always about changing the behavior of the species. \u00a0On dry land, PMO success occurs only when we address business needs, not project needs.\u00a0 And driving change happens by mostly speaking to people\u2019s feelings.<\/p>\n<p>Present information that makes people feel something.\u00a0 It might be a disturbing look at a problem or a hopeful glimpse of the solution &#8212; Regardless of your spotlight; it must hit your audience at the emotional level.\u00a0 Introduce change opportunities that are so compelling, motivating, inspiring and necessary your stakeholders will move heaven and earth to make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>As you pull your plan together, don\u2019t try to anticipate every twist and turn along the way.\u00a0 As you envision your final destination, remember this \u2013 Start out slowly to teach others to fish.\u00a0 In other words, at the beginning, don\u2019t obsess about the middle because the middle will look different when you get there.<\/p>\n<p>Simply aim for a strong start and hope for a successful ending.\u00a0 Be prepared to throw a few back along the way.\u00a0 Then get fishing!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lisa DiTullio, Principal, Your Project Office. <a
