    The Frontier PMO: At an AI Inflection Point

    In this episode of The Frontier PMO Mike Taylor and Tad Haas are joined by 15-time Microsoft MVP and project management expert Cindy Lewis for a practical conversation about the future of project management, PMO modernization, and AI-ready work management on the Microsoft 365 platform. As Project Online retirement pushes organizations to rethink their project and portfolio management strategy, many PMO leaders are asking the same questions: Where does Microsoft Planner fit? How should Teams, Power Platform, reporting, governance, and Copilot work together? And what needs to change before Copilot and AI agents can deliver meaningful enterprise outcomes. Mike, Tad, and Cindy explore why disconnected tools create fragmented work, fragmented context, and unnecessary complexity, and why organizations get more value when they build on the Microsoft capabilities they already own instead of adding another standalone project management tool. The conversation also looks at the human side of AI in project management: how PMO leaders can prepare teams for Copilot and AI agents, why governance and verification matter, and why judgment, empathy, leadership, and experience become even more important as AI handles more routine project management work. If you are a PMO leader, project manager, Microsoft 365 leader, transformation executive, or Microsoft partner helping organizations modernize work management, this episode offers a grounded look at how the PMO is evolving in the age of Planner, Copilot, AI agents, and co-intelligent work. Listeners will learn: 🔹How Project Online retirement is forcing PMOs to rethink their operating model 🔹Where Microsoft Planner fits in enterprise project and portfolio management 🔹Why Teams, Planner, Power Platform, Power BI, and governance need to work together 🔹How tool proliferation creates cost, complexity, and context switching 🔹Why common context is essential for Copilot and AI-ready project delivery 🔹How AI assistance, AI-augmented operations, and co-intelligent work differ 🔹Why AI output must still be challenged, verified, and owned by humans 🔹How the role of the project manager and PMO leader is likely to evolve 🔗Additional Resources Cindy Talks PM Microsoft Project Step By Step Innovative-e Website Teams4PM Website The AI Project and Work Management Revolution is Here!

    The 4 Pillars of the Frontier PMO | Moving Beyond AI Assist to Operational Intelligence

    Most PMOs are experimenting with AI. Very few are building the operating model that allows AI to create lasting organizational value. In Episode 2 of The Frontier PMO, Mike Taylor and Tad Haas introduce the Four Pillars of the Frontier PMO—the framework Innovative-e uses to help organizations evolve from AI-assisted work to operational intelligence and, ultimately, co-intelligent value delivery. Rather than focusing on individual AI tools, this episode explores the capabilities organizations must build to create an AI-ready PMO that improves visibility, governance, decision-making, and execution. 🧠In this episode you'll learn: 🔹Why AI Assist is only the first step 🔹What Operational Intelligence actually means for PMOs 🔹How AI can identify project risks before people do 🔹Why connected data matters more than better prompts 🔹The Four Pillars of the Frontier PMO framework 1. Unify the Work 2. Operational Intelligence 3. Adaptive Value Delivery 4. Co-Intelligent Value 🔹How organizations progress toward Co-Intelligent Value Delivery Whether you're leading a PMO, modernizing project delivery, or building an AI strategy on Microsoft 365, this episode provides a practical roadmap for moving beyond experimentation and creating lasting business value. 🔗Additional Resources Innovative-e WebsiteTeams4PM WebsiteArchitecture Matters BlogFrontier PMO Webinar ReplayDownload our WhitepaperFollow Innovative-e on LinkedIn

    The Frontier PMO Explained: AI Assist, AI Augment, and Co-Intelligent Value Delivery

    In this inaugural episode of The Frontier PMO podcast, Mike Taylor and Tad Haas, Director of Business Development at Innovative-e, break down what the Frontier PMO is, why it matters right now, and how organizations can begin moving toward it. 🧠 What you'll learn in this episode: 🔹The three phases of the Frontier PMO Maturity Curve: AI Assist, AI Augment, and Co-Intelligent Value Delivery, and what each one looks like in practice inside Microsoft 365. 🔹 Why the retirement of Microsoft Project Online isn't a tool replacement decision it's an architecture decision that will shape your PMO's AI readiness for years. 🔹 How "bring your own AI" creates the same governance and security risks that "bring your own device" created a decade ago and what to do instead. 🔹 Why platform-first thinking is the prerequisite for co-intelligence and how fragmented work management tools actively prevent AI from delivering value. 🔹The four-step pathway organizations are using to move from legacy PMO to Frontier PMO: 1. Centralize collaboration 2. Connect data and workflows 3. Standardize operational patterns 4. Introduce orchestration. 🔹What the Frontier PMO means for the future role of PMO leaders -- from tracking work to orchestrating enterprise value. 🗝️ Key concept from this episode: Architecture determines AI value. The platform decision you make today determines whether AI can reason over your work data tomorrow. Organizations that consolidate onto Microsoft 365 and build a governed work management foundation are the ones that will realize co-intelligent value delivery. Those that continue adding point solutions will find themselves stitching data together indefinitely -- with no foundation for AI to work from. 📃 Resources mentioned in this episode: 🔹2026 Microsoft Work Trend Index Annual Report https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/worklab/work-trend-index 🔹 Project Online retirement and modernization options https://www.innovative-e.com/project-online 🔹 Co-Intelligence by Ethan Mollick https://www.amazon.com/Co-Intelligence-Living-Working-Ethan-Mollick/dp/059371671X 🔹 Teams4PM https://www.teams4pm.com/ 🔹 Innovative-e https://www.innovative-e.com/
