Senior Level IT PMO Purple Squirrels
“The term purple squirrel is used by recruiters to describe the “perfect candidate” who has the right training, the right qualifications, and the right experience to perfectly match the recruiting managers’ needs. In theory a “purple squirrel” could immediately handle all the tasks and responsibilities of a specific role without needing any training or support.
​
The concept implies that the perfect candidate is as rare as a purple squirrel (Zuchetti).”

Considering a technical PMO Pivot?
Here are some
IT PMO Strategic Points To Ponder
ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGY
​
-
Do your organization’s global partners require your firm to provide IT PMO leadership, but you possess no PMO staff to spearhead the engagement?
-
Does your company have an upcoming large IT investment requiring numerous vendors, and/or successive work efforts spanning several departments, technologies, workstreams, & cost centers?
-
Have your leadership teams considered integrating customized, structured PMO practices or hierarchical layering to your small PMO?
-
Are your international teams needing PMO support during US offline hours, but your team doesn’t have an available resource with the bandwidth or flexibility to cover overnight shifts?
-
Have missed details, ambiguity, and lack of structured planning created overwhelming long hours, rework, or multiple missed deployment dates?
-
Has your organization been recently awarded a contract that requires a major planning or stand-up effort for a successful program or project launch?
-
Has “fly by the seat of your pants” become the normal project cadence?
-
Have your teams entered a perpetual cycle of sidestepping risks, then hoping for the best, only to later hit cost-intensive cutover/go-live roadblocks?
-
Do your organization’s IT portfolios retain parameters of high uncertainty, ambiguity, over-budgeted, delayed, and project failures, which raised red flags to the executive sponsors, who are now hesitant to commit to IT investments?
-
Are your stellar engineers pinning Post-it notes to cork boards as a way of managing workloads, deadlines, and incomplete tasks, in-lieu of partnering with a PMO professional?
-
Are your executive teams currently in active budget forecasting negotiations or stalled deliberations, and need tangible, quantified data analysis with weighted criteria to undergird IT investment propositions and capital requests?
-
Does your executive team need assistance determining which PMO Core Competencies the organization will need to take center stage in upcoming IT Modernization initiatives?
PMO STRATEGY
​
-
Has your team considered placing a layer of accountability between your PMs & Executive Leadership?
-
Does your organization need a short- or long-term solution for PMO support during a transition, merger, expansion, divestiture, vendor implementation, or major endeavor?
-
Is your leadership team attempting to oversee interconnected projects with overlapping efforts, but your PMs are siloed?
-
Do your PMs decide to “run with it” before wrapping their arms around the requirements and key junctures to unearth showstoppers?
-
Are any of your organization’s projects: On Fire, Engulfed with Smoldering Embers, or Already Burnt to Ashes?
-
Does your department have autonomous PMs running amuck, but you desire a coalition of aligned PMs functioning as a collaborative collective?
-
Has the company’s risk management process ultimately devolved into teams simply NOT officially logging the risks?
-
Could your organization’s PMO practice and Programs benefit from a more Stakeholder, Communication, and Quality-centric approach?
-
Are your executives too close to your in-flight programs, PMO processes, & organizational PMO policies and need fresh eyes to identify and model opportunities for PMO Continuous Improvement, performance enhancements, business process reengineering, etc.?
-
Does your team’s collective PMO status reporting seem a bit discombobulated?
-
Does your organization desire to better leverage IT investments to promote competitive advantage, economic growth, and benefits realization?
-
Are undocumented program/project Requirements, Scope, Constraints, Dependencies, and Critical Deliverables preventing benefit achievement and causing resource, financial, time, and bandwidth bottlenecks?
“Achieving these objectives necessitates an organizational culture that links talent management with strategy along with ongoing investments to improve workforce capabilities and enabling systems, structures, and process (Rebentisch, p. 10)”
