Pioneer of the Business Driven PMO As a result of his work with PMOs, experiences leading or being served by a PMO, and research conducted in support of his published books and articles, Mark Price Perry pioneered the concept of the Business Driven PMO and has become a recognized thought leader and sought after public speaker. Mark offers an alternative approach to PMO setup and management, an approach driven by specific needs of the business as determined by the leadership team, not industry standards or the latest PMO models, buzzwords and hype. Mark is the author of the Business Driven PMO three book series, published by J. Ross Publishing and the creator and host of The PMO Podcast, a free podcast for PMO managers with 272 podcast episodes. Mark Price Perry is a true industry 'Thought Leader'. That is hackneyed term these days, but an appropriate one in his case. His published work on building and managing business appropriate PMOs (augmented by powerful case studies) is essential reading for advanced practitioners in the field. I've used the principles he shares in my own practice as a PMO Director in Canadian Healthcare, and as a volunteer consultant to at least three non-profit organizations. His counsel is both evidence and experience based, and can be quite transformational to those who reflect deeply on, and who implement the things he advises. Underlying all of his writing is a generous and open-hearted desire to share the best of what he has learned through a rich, demanding and varied career in project management. I'm honored to recommend him. Mark Price Perry is at the top of my list of PMO experts in the world. In addition to his exhaustive depth of expertise resulting from working with hundreds of PMOs, Mark brings a true servant leader perspective to what a a PMO is and how it should support other parts of the organization. His contributions to the industry through public presentations, workshops, podcasts, blogs and his 'Business-Driven' series of books make him a true thought leader and a driving influence for redefining the role of the PMO in modern business. Mark enjoys an immense amount of loyalty and respect from his team, peers and clients as a result of his personality and attitude as much as his knowledge. Mark's trademark is his ability to always consider things from others perspectives. He is a natural leader by virtue of his wit, wisdom, and willingness to selflessly give rather than to take. Mark is a personal inspiration to me by consistently reflecting the highest levels of professionalisms, ethical behaviour and humility. Mark Price Perry is a true visionary and possesses a very deep understanding of PMO to business matters and concepts. I had the pleasure, and more so the honor, of meeting Mark during a Gartner IT Governance and PPM Summit. I was totally amazed and intrigued by the wealth of practical knowledge he had and was able to articulate, clearly. Obviously, Mark has established an enterprise which has the genuine concerns of the customer in mind --- I look forward to future engagements with him. -- Sylvester Johnson, Enterprise IT and Business Leader, Vision Management Institute BOT International Business Driven PMO Success Stories The PMO Podcast with 272 episodes of insights and ideas to help you set up and manage your PMO.

HELPFUL -- PMO Manager, Business Transformation Office Perry's PMO videos tested my PMO beliefs. I now have a broader set of PMO convictions that are rooted in not just plan-driven project management techinques but business management, leadership, and the principles of complex adaptive systems.
