About the Summit
Strategic initiatives continue to fail at alarming rates—some studies report up to 90%. The cost is staggering, with losses reaching into the billions each year. It’s clear: we need a better way to bridge strategy and execution.
Enter Strategic Business Execution—a growing discipline that blends strategic implementation with advanced project and program management.
Join us for the Strategic Business Execution Virtual Summit 2026, hosted by PMO Advisory, happening on March 20, 2026. This virtual event is designed for professionals at all levels who are ready to drive meaningful results through more effective execution of strategic initiatives.
Whether you’re leading large-scale programs or building foundational skills, this summit delivers practical insights from respected experts dedicated to improving how we turn strategy into impact.
Why Attend the Strategic Business Execution Summit?
No great strategy thrives without great execution. True success—for individuals and organizations—requires both strong planning and disciplined delivery. Yet too often, we fall short because one side of that equation fails. Strategy and project management are frequently treated as separate domains, with literature and practice favoring one over the other. But optimizing just one side isn’t enough. The real value lies in bridging the two—and that’s exactly what this summit is designed to help you do.
The Strategic Business Execution Virtual Summit 2026 welcomes professionals from all industries and experience levels. Whether you’re a strategic thinker ready to explore execution, or a project leader aiming to align your work with enterprise strategy, this summit offers insight, tools, and guidance from seasoned experts who know what it takes to drive lasting impact.
Who Should Attend the Summit?
The Strategic Business Execution Virtual Summit 2026 is ideal for professionals across industries who want to go beyond planning and into real execution. It’s perfect for project, program, and portfolio managers aiming to strengthen their strategic capabilities. Business leaders and executives driving major initiatives will gain valuable insights to support transformation and long-term success. The summit also benefits professionals looking to improve execution across their organizations, as well as those eager to explore the latest developments in strategic business execution. Certified PMI credential holders can earn up to 7 PDUs by attending.

SBE Speaker & Topic:
Strategic Project Portfolio Management: From Chaos to Clarity
This presentation explores how organizations can move from fragmented, reactive project execution to a clear, strategically aligned Project Portfolio Management (PPM) approach.
In today’s fast-paced environment, teams are often overwhelmed—working on the loudest requests rather than the right initiatives.
This session highlights how Strategic PPM helps organizations focus on value-driven work, improve decision-making, and ensure that projects directly support business objectives.
The presentation outlines a structured PPM workflow that integrates cross-functional collaboration by introducing governance, prioritization, and visibility into the full portfolio, organizations can reduce chaos, manage risk proactively, and optimize resource allocation.
SBE Speaker & Topic:
Strategic Change Management in Business Execution for AI Adoption
Strategic Change Management in Business Execution for AI Adoption examines the critical human dimension of AI transformation, emphasizing that successful adoption depends less on the technology itself and more on how effectively leaders guide people through change. As with any major organizational shift, resistance—whether structural, cultural, or individual—can significantly delay or derail progress. This presentation explores the current state of AI initiatives and applies established change management models to demonstrate how they can be leveraged to drive AI adoption at scale. Through a practical case example, the session will analyze common types of resistance, identify their root causes, and outline targeted interventions leaders can use to address them. It will also examine the strategic role of the PMO in coordinating AI adoption efforts and highlight key portfolio management considerations to ensure alignment with enterprise objectives. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of why AI adoption plans must be embedded into every rollout strategy and how to select appropriate change management approaches to sustain meaningful, organization-wide transformation.
SBE Speaker & Topic:
When the Plan Breaks: The Leadership Decisions That Keep Strategy Moving
Even the best strategic plans break.
Priorities shift. Stakeholders pivot. Executive direction evolves.
And suddenly, the roadmap that once reflected reality no longer does.
In fast-moving organizations, execution isn’t determined by how well teams protect the original plan, it’s determined by how well leaders think, align, and move forward when conditions change.
Many organizations attempt to solve execution challenges with better tools, tighter governance, or more detailed planning. Yet the most common breakdown occurs when leaders must decide how to move forward without full clarity. In these moments, hesitation, misalignment, or reactive decision-making can stall even the strongest strategies.
In this practical, executive-level session, adaptability strategist Erin Ramirez introduces a simple three-decision framework leaders can use when plans shift and certainty is limited. Drawing from her work advising leaders inside complex transformation environments, Erin explores how adaptability functions as a strategic execution capability, helping leaders stabilize, realign teams, and maintain forward momentum even when the path isn’t fully defined.
Participants will leave with a clear mental model and decision lens they can immediately apply when priorities shift, plans change, or execution becomes complex. The focus is not on adding more process, but on strengthening leaders’ ability to think clearly and move forward in uncertainty so strategy can continue advancing.
