The Transformation Management Office
is different from a Program Management Office
in that the TMO really focuses on being
action-oriented and forward-looking.
A traditional PMO will typically look backwards
and understand where are we against
what we said maybe a quarter ago
versus a TMO who, on a weekly basis,
is looking at what did you say you would this week
and what are you planning to do next week.
The forward-looking focus of a TMO
allows for a large scale change program to move much faster
and really drive accountability
further down in the organization.
