IF YOU’RE WORKING HARD TO DRIVE BUSINESS VALUE AND YOU’RE FEELING ANY OF THESE THINGS

Drowning in Tasks with Nothing to Show for It

Drowning in Tasks with Nothing to Show for It

You’ve got projects getting done, meetings on the books, reports going out. But the business results are still lagging. It feels like you’re checking boxes and still getting blamed for not delivering value.

No Clear Line from Projects to Business Value

No Clear Line from Projects to Business Value
​Business Value

Everyone’s asking for dashboards, deliverables, and faster timelines.
But no one’s defining what actually matters most. And you’re stuck guessing what “IMPACT” is supposed to look like.

Left Out of Strategy but Still Accountable for Delivery

You’re in the work every day. But somehow you’re still the last to know when priorities shift. You’re delivering without direction and it’s exhausting your team.

Measured by the Wrong Metrics

You’re hitting deadlines, checking boxes, and updating status reports.
But the business still doesn’t see your value. The focus is on activity, not outcomes, and it’s killing momentum.

Doing More but Trusted Less

You’re getting things done, but leaders still don’t see you as strategic. The more you deliver, the more the bar moves, and the less you're consulted. You’re tired of doing the work without a real seat at the table.

The IMPACT Engine is helping leaders deliver real business IMPACT!

"...exponentially improved accountability, efficiency, staff growth, and mission IMPACT"

“Implementing Laura Barnard’s The IMPACT Engine System in two organizations exponentially improved accountability, efficiency, staff growth, and mission IMPACT, helping us achieve outsized results. Barnard’s unique approach focuses on solving business problems rather than simply standing up a project management office. I encourage fellow executives to see this book as a window into a better execution system that can transform an organization’s culture and processes, strengthening its people and its IMPACT on the world.”

​Joel Albizo, FASAE, CAE
CEO, AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION

"With over 30 years focused on all things PPM, I can truly say I'm in awe of what Laura has accomplished with her excellent book. I truly wish I had this book available during my 10 years at Gartner so I could have just said to clients "read this book before you do anything else," Laura makes it clear that it is people first, process second. She also makes it very clear that the process itself has to ADD value rather than just control and report on activities. Thank you for the job well done, Laura."

Donna Fitzgerald
CEO, Nimble PM

"The IMPACT Engine System is comprehensive, practical, and proven. You are led through a logical sequence of steps that results in faster, better business outcomes that are aligned with the organization’s strategy, providing undeniable value for the organization, and ultimately earning you a seat at the table as the organization’s Strategy Navigator."

Beth May
COO, Project Management for Change

"A seminal work for PMO and strategy leaders navigating complex organizational landscapes. This book doesn’t just theorize; it equips you with pragmatic strategies and real-world tactics to drive sustainable business outcomes. The IMPACT Engine is not merely a book; it’s a catalyst for change."

Michael Shost
Global PMO Leader and Innovation Pathfinder

"If you need to transform strategy into action that makes an IMPACT, this is your golden guidebook."

​Dawn Mahan​
​Founder & CEO, PMOtraining.com

"You’ll find yourself reviewing this book again and again to ‘broaden your focus beyond project execution’—and you’ll establish and sustain a disciplined cadence that enables you to deliver more value."

Willetta Love
IES student; Associate Director, Strategy Office, American Psychological Association

"A mind-shifting book filled with ‘aha’ moments. If you are a consultant building project capability for clients, you can use this step-by-step framework to elevate your IMPACT and grow your business in the process."

Gregor Androjna,
IES student; PMOexpert, PMO Consultant

The question is, are you next?

a message from laura

I Wish I Had Me When I Was You

In the late 90s, I fell in love with big transformational change. After 15 years inside organizations building PMO and transformation teams, I learned a lot of tough lessons, much of it the hard way!

My goal now is to ensure that YOU have it easier than I do.

As someone who has navigated the complexities of strategy delivery for thirty years, I wrote The IMPACT Engine to be the mentor I wish I had earlier in my career. This book is your gateway to becoming the Strategy Navigator your organization needs to accelerate the delivery of your organization’s strategy and elevate your career in the process.

​I’m looking forward to supporting you on your IMPACT journey!

Why is The IMPACT Engine Such a Game-Changer for PMO Leaders?

The book gives you a front-row seat to how the full IMPACT Engine System works. It’s the same framework we use with our clients to align delivery teams to strategy and drive real results.

This isn’t the full program, and it’s not meant to be. It’s your way in. A catalyst. It introduces the system, walks you through the step-by-step process, and helps you start applying the mindset and techniques that drive change at scale.

If you’re serious about leading strategy execution, this is your starting point. The book will show you what the system looks like in action and why it works.

​And it all starts here.

At PMO Strategies, we believe that driving real IMPACT takes commitment, continuous learning, and the willingness to lead with intention. The stories and results shared reflect individual experiences and are not guarantees of future outcomes. The resources offered, including this software survey, are educational in nature and not intended as legal, financial, or professional consulting advice. By engaging with this site or its materials, you accept full responsibility for how you apply the concepts and the results you create. We’re here to equip and support you. IMPACT is always earned, never given.
