Projectum’s very serious, super exact predictions that will definitely happen in the PMO space in 2023
Projectum’s very serious, super exact predictions that will definitely happen in the PMO space in 2023
For 19 excruciating years, we’ve been in the field of PMOs and consulting.
We’ve seen every possible mistake and every potential success and actually made some of those successes happen with our top-notch products and consulting. Therefore, we feel like we’ve earned the right to get our crystal ball and peek into the future. So let’s take a look at what the magic crystal ball predicts for 2023.
For years, Post its have known as a great tool for collaboration, and that’s great. But. Collaborative tools that capture the data as you work? Even better.
In 2023 all companies will be digitalized, ditching the post-its and instead using solutions that capture the discussions – and help you make a decision.
Knowledge sharing is important. But for too long, knowledge sharing has been bound to the company, sometimes inching its way across departments, if you’re lucky. Mostly though knowledge sharing has been tucked away in a long agenda of a very boring meeting that people only attend because there’s free cake – if they’re lucky.
But in 2023, knowledge sharing will fight its way out of the sharp claws of mandatory staff meetings and set itself free in communities where people in all fields meet and share knowledge on processes, methods, and theories.
If a kid’s bedroom is a mess, you can’t just throw money and hope it magically tidies itself. You have to identify what needs to be cleaned up and where to put everything, and maybe even throw out some old toys before buying new ones. Sure, that robot looked like it was gonna work perfectly forever, but it’s actually impractical, bulky, and broke years ago. You should throw it out, so you have space for the toys that actually work.
This is a metaphor.
(The toys are processes, bureaucracy, and methodology)
(Hey, we said it was a metaphor, not that it was a good one.)
A PMO office decides to create an executable strategy with clearly defined goals that employees and departments can measure their efforts against. The PMO then follows up on the strategy and its goals. It’s a roaring success and up to three employees are able to enact the strategy saving at least six hours of project management time.
Why plan once if you can plan three times? In 2023, PMOs can’t be seen anywhere without the newest up-to-date scenario for their business. They use what if to create data-driven, responsive scenarios that make them look super hot and like they know what they’re doing.
So, this is what’s going to happen in the PMO space in 2023. PMOs will be sexier than ever, if by sexy you mean; working smarter when optimizing their company processes and strategies to stand stronger in changing markets, using better tools, communicating strategies, and learning from each other.
In conclusion: Be nice, be good to your employees, and buy our products. Pretty please.

This is an end-of-the-year post, not intended to be taken too seriously.
However, while this post may have been a bit tongue in cheek, most of the predictions have inklings of upcoming trends and changes in the PMO-space. You just have to read between the lines and discard the endless, awful metaphors.
Happy New Year from Projectum!
