    Smits, K. (2020). Power Shift: Focus on Strategy and Empathy to Align with a New PMO. PM Network, 34(2), 67.
    The project management office (PMO) is responsible for creating the project culture in an organization. So when organizations launch a PMO, or shift or expand the focus of an existing PMO, they are creating a new core environment to which project professionals must adapt. Although many technical aspects of the PMO might be familiar, education is crucial in order to quickly ensure teams align fully with the PMO's strategy and governance.
