Project-based organizations, or PBOs,

As project managers are asked to take a more strategic focus and as organizational managers look for better strategy delivery results both with mitigated success, a well-integrated PBO could be a possible answer provided their structures give horizontal integration from business strategy to operational benefits and vertical integration between corporate objectives and the prioritized portfolio of projects. It is also very likely that the adoption of an integrated wide-scale project approach, including a governance-oriented project management office, will enable organizations to deliver value consistently for all their stakeholders and therefore promote the organizational project management concept.
