The Chief of Staff (CoS) has a strategic role in ensuring that the project office (PMO) work aligns with the company's overall strategy. This is done by the CoS participating in strategic work, translating strategic goals into concrete projects, and setting relevant key performance indicators (KPIs) for monitoring. In Swedish companies, this often takes place through cross-functional meetings and dialogues where different departments contribute to prioritizations and goal formulation. The CoS is responsible for ensuring that the PMO has clear processes for project selection, resource allocation, and risk management, as well as that these processes are transparent and inclusive. Regular follow-up and reporting to management are crucial to ensure that the projects deliver value and that any deviations can be addressed in a timely manner. The CoS should also promote collaboration between the PMO and other parts of the organization to avoid silos and ensure that all initiatives support the company's long-term goals.
