    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/
