What Makes An Effective EPMO ? (Blog 2)

Last week I suggested that EPMOs are being created in a practical, rigid manner without regard for the cultural dynamics at play within an organization. I am wondering if an EPMO should actually be directly aligned and integrated with that organization’s cultural dynamics and operational model to achieve optimal effectiveness. If that were the case then throughout the development processes, it would be imperative to work closely with key EPMO stakeholders to get a sense of how the EPMO is going to be used, how people are going to interact with the resources being provided and with other EPMO stakeholders. What are the dynamics that are at play between these individuals and the information they are gleaning or providing to the EPMO? So I ask you, would working closely with these individuals in a way that allows the EPMO development team to capture the essence of how this organization gets work done enable the EPMO infrastructure to optimize the functionality that is required and expected?
