Voices from Leadership

As we formalize this strategic partnership, both organizations reaffirm their shared commitment to advancing PMO excellence, data-driven transformation, and sustainable impact. Here’s what the leaders of AIPMO and Étharien Advisors (EA) had to say about this collaboration:

"We are honored to partner with AIPMO to introduce the globally recognized PMO-MI® model to our clients across Saudi Arabia, the GCC, Syria, and Pakistan. This collaboration reflects our belief that transformation must be measurable, ethical, and grounded in science. By integrating AIPMO’s rigorous frameworks with Étharien Advisors’ regional expertise, we will empower organizations to move from process compliance to true performance impact aligning governance, intelligence, and strategy to deliver on Vision 2030 and beyond.” Muhammad Mohsin Azeem, Chief Strategy & Advisory Officer (CSO), Étharien Advisors
“The partnership with Étharien Advisors represents a significant step toward bringing research-based PMO maturity and impact assessment into the heart of transformation programs across the GCC and beyond. The PMO-MI® model was designed not only to measure performance but to reveal how PMOs can become engines of strategy execution and value creation. This collaboration helps position PMO-MI® as the international standard for PMO maturity and impact assessments, applicable to both single and multi-PMO environments. The model defines the structural progression — how frameworks, services, and governance mature and evolve to create measurable impact. Building on this foundation, AIPMO’s ongoing research is exploring the next frontier of organizational maturity — the cognitive progression that defines how enterprises learn, adapt, and refine decisions through data and experience. Together, these research streams form a bridge between structure and intelligence, preparing organizations for the era of AI-enabled management offices. With Étharien Advisors’ regional expertise and commitment to principled advisory, we are confident this partnership will set a new benchmark for evidence-based governance, data-driven decision-making, and sustainable impact.” Dr. Robert Joslin, Founder and President, AIPMO
