AIPMO

 The Association of International Project Management Officers (AIPMO) is a Switzerland-based global organization dedicated to advancing the professionalization of Project Management Offices (PMOs) through research, education, and certification. 

Through its certifications (IPMO-F®, IPMO-P®, IPMO-E®) and research-driven standards, AIPMO equips PMO leaders and organizations with the tools to design, operate, and scale high-performing PMOs that deliver lasting impact.

AIPMO is the creator of the PMO-MI® (Maturity & Impact) Model, the world’s first principle-based benchmarking framework designed to assess both the maturity and business impact of PMOs. The model is applied across sectors and regions, including government, infrastructure, and giga-projects to help organizations measure performance, align services with strategy, and achieve measurable results.

 “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
