In this special and personal episode, host Mounir Ajam kicks off a powerful new series exploring his book Vision Realized. Rather than another guide full of PM buzzwords and checklists, this book—and this conversation—is about transformation. Why is traditional project management falling short? Why are so many organizations missing deadlines, blowing budgets, and failing to deliver true value? Mounir shares the deeper “why” behind writing Vision Realized—a call to embed project management into the DNA of organizations as a strategic, leadership-driven function. He explains how Business-Integrated Project Management can help close the gap between strategy and execution. This episode sets the stage for a trilogy of books and a movement toward real, sustainable change in how we lead projects and transformation initiatives. Whether you're a project leader, executive, or change-maker, this conversation is your invitation to rethink the future of project management.

Project Management Maturity and Self-Assessment Tool
In this thought-provoking episode of the 4PM Podcast, your host Mounir Ajam challenges conventional thinking around the Project Management Office (PMO). While the PMO has long been seen as the pinnacle of project management maturity, Mounir asks a powerful question: What if the PMO is just the beginning, not the end? Tune in as we explore: ✅ Why the PMO shouldn’t be treated as the ultimate goal ✅ The critical shift from structure to culture in project delivery ✅ What it means to embed project management into the DNA of an organization ✅ How aligning strategy, governance, and leadership creates lasting value ✅ The roadmap to institutionalizing project management across all functions This episode, titled "From Office to Organization", dives deep into transforming project management from a standalone department into a strategic, enterprise-wide capability — one that drives change, delivers results, and becomes as foundational as HR or Finance. Whether you're a project leader, executive, or someone rethinking how your organization delivers value, this episode will leave you with a fresh perspective and a call to evolve. 🎧 Listen now and join the movement from PMO to institutional excellence.  #4PMPodcast #ProjectManagement #PMO #Leadership #OrganizationalChange #UrukPM Explore more project management insights at www.urukpm.com (http://www.urukpm.com/) Connect with Uruk Project Management: Uruk PM | Blog (https://blog.urukpm.com/) Uruk Project Management | LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/urukpm/?viewAsMember=true) Uruk PM (https://twitter.com/UrukPM) | (https://www.facebook.com/Urukpm/) Twitter (https://twitter.com/UrukPM) Uruk PM | Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Urukpm/) Uruk PM (https://www.instagram.com/urukpm/) | (https://www.facebook.com/Urukpm/) Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/urukpm/) Uruk PM | Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/@urukprojectmanagement) #UrukPM #ProjectManagement #Podcast
