Solutions / Executive Value Scorecard
Entry point — most requested
Before you invest in transforming your PMO, know exactly what you’re transforming from
The Executive Value Scorecard is a structured diagnostic that tells your executive team where your PMO stands, what it is costing you, and which intervention delivers the fastest return.
Most organisations fund PMO transformation before they understand what the PMO is actually failing to produce.
Transformation programmes are expensive. The risk of committing to the wrong intervention — at the wrong scale, in the wrong sequence — is real. Yet most executives make that commitment without a structured view of where the PMO’s value gap actually sits.
The consequence is predictable: transformation programmes that address visible symptoms — reporting quality, governance structure, delivery methodology — while missing the structural misalignment that is actually costing the portfolio its return.
The EVS closes that gap before the investment is made.
Capital deployed without ROI accountability
The PMO has no mechanism to challenge whether an initiative still represents the right use of capital. Funding decisions pass through governance without a return expectation being set or tracked.
Decisions delayed by data that describes, not prescribes
Executives receive portfolio reporting that tells them what happened. They need reporting that tells them what to do next. The EVS identifies where that gap sits and what it is costing.
PMO excluded from the investment conversations that matter
When the PMO cannot demonstrate its value in business terms, it is structurally excluded from strategy and investment decisions. The EVS identifies exactly what is preventing that conversation from happening.
THE EVS ANSWER
The EVS gives you an evidence-based read of your PMO’s value position — where value is created, where it is leaking, and the highest-priority actions to take — so you invest in transforming the right things, with executive alignment from the start
Two buyers. The same urgent need.
The Executive Sponsor
The PMO Leader
You commissioned or inherited a PMO and cannot see what it returns
You know the PMO is undervalued but cannot articulate the gap in business terms
You are considering a transformation investment and need to know what you are actually buying
You need an independent, credible baseline before making the case for investment
Your executives are making portfolio decisions without investment-quality visibility
You want the language and evidence to take to executive leadership — not a maturity score
You have been told the PMO is improving — and have no way to verify that claim
You have tried to improve reporting and governance but the function is still seen as overhead
You want accountability built into the function before you fund its next phase
You need to know which intervention will have the fastest visible impact on executive confidence
Who the EVS is for
This diagnostic is for:
✓ Executive sponsors funding PMO transformation who need to know exactly what they are funding
✓ PMO and transformation leaders ready for an honest, evidence-based read of their value position
✓ Organisations prepared to act on the findings — not just receive a report
✓ Leaders who want a decision-ready case to take to the executive team before committing capital
If you are ready to act on what the EVS surfaces, this is the right place to start.
Who the EVS is NOT for
This diagnostic is not for:
✕ Organisations looking for a maturity score to present at a conference
✕ PMO leaders who want validation rather than an honest assessment
✕ Teams that are not prepared to act on what the diagnostic surfaces
✕ Organisations where the executive sponsor is not involved or committed to the process
The EVS produces actionable findings. If you are not ready to act on them, this is not the right starting point.
Four deliverables. One decision-ready output.
The EVS is a structured engagement, not a survey. Every deliverable is designed to support a specific decision that your executive team needs to make.
PMO Value Position Assessment
A clear-eyed evaluation of where your PMO currently sits against the standard of a business-driven investment management function. Not a capability scorecard. An honest gap analysis expressed in business terms — capital deployment, decision visibility, and portfolio return.
1
Value Leakage Map
Identification of the specific points in your PMO’s operating model where value is being lost — not created. Where investment decisions are being made without the data to make them well. Where governance is adding friction instead of velocity. Named, specific, and prioritised by business impact.
2
Executive Visibility Report
A plain-language report written for the executive sponsor, not the PMO team. It states what the portfolio is currently returning on the PMO’s governance, where confidence in the function is justified, and where it is not. Designed to be taken directly into a leadership conversation.
3
Prioritised Action Plan
The three to five highest-value interventions for your specific organisation, sequenced by expected impact and delivery feasibility. Each intervention is linked to a business outcome, not a PMO improvement objective. This is not a roadmap to implement. It is a decision document for your executive team.
4
What the EVS is NOT
The EVS is not:
The EVS is:
✕ A PMO maturity assessment (P3M3, OPM3, or equivalent)
✓ An investment-level evaluation of your PMO’s value position
✕ A 100-page consulting report
✓ A business case written for the executive sponsor
✕ A generic gap analysis based on best practice benchmarks
✓ A specific, prioritised set of decisions to make next
✕ A sales process disguised as a diagnostic
✓ An honest diagnostic — not optimised to sell you more work
✕ A commitment to any specific transformation programme
✓ A starting point you can act on independently of RUN PMO Consulting
Clarity on where your PMO stands. Direction on what to do next. Evidence to take to your executive team.
One conversation
Executive team aligned on the PMO’s true value position
The EVS produces a shared, evidence-based view of where the PMO sits. It ends the internal debate about whether the function is performing — and replaces opinion with a business-terms diagnosis that everyone at leadership level can engage with.
Three to five
Highest-value interventions, prioritised in sequence
Not a list of everything that could be improved. The specific interventions that will move the needle on portfolio ROI and executive confidence fastest — in the order that makes the most commercial sense for your organisation
30 days
Diagnostic complete and action plan in your hands
The EVS is structured to deliver a complete, usable output within 30 days of engagement start. Not a six-month consulting phase. A 30-day sprint that gives you everything you need to make the next investment decision with confidence.
The principle behind the EVS
"The PMO that earns a permanent seat at the table does not do it by surviving. It does it by becoming indispensable."
— Ahmed Jadelrab, Founder, RUN PMO Consulting™
Four steps. Thirty days. A decision-ready output
The EVS is structured, time-bound, and runs to a clear output. Every step has a purpose. None of them is overhead
STEP1
Request and scoping call (30 minutes)
You request the EVS. Ahmed reviews your context and confirms the engagement scope. The scoping call is not a sales conversation — it is a brief alignment session to confirm that the EVS is the right starting point for your organisation and your executive team’s current decision-making need.
STEP2
Executive and PMO briefings (2–3 sessions)
Structured briefings with the executive sponsor and PMO leader (or leadership team). The sessions are designed to surface the business-terms evidence needed for the assessment — portfolio decisions made, investment accountability structures, reporting outcomes, and stakeholder confidence signals. No surveys. No questionnaires. Direct conversations.
STEP3
Portfolio and governance review (independent)
Ahmed reviews existing portfolio reporting, governance structures, and PMO operating mechanisms against the PMO-MVM™ standard. The review is independent, structured, and confidential. Findings are evaluated against the same criteria applied across every EVS engagement.
STEP4
Findings presentation and action plan delivery
The Executive Visibility Report and Prioritised Action Plan are presented directly to the executive sponsor — not submitted as a document. The presentation is a working session, not a slide deck review. You leave with a shared view of the PMO’s value position and a clear set of decisions to make next.

None of these are automatic. The EVS produces a findings presentation, not a sales recommendation. If one of these engagements is the right next step, it will be obvious from the action plan. If none of them are, that will be obvious too.
