E84 Channel Your Curiosity with Carsten Ley
In this episode of Project Management Office Hours, Carsten Ley shares his journey with us through navigating the project management world, globally. Carsten Ley and PMO Joe discuss topics about being open-minded, curious, and having cross-functional thinking.
After 20+ years working in Deloitte Germany, VW Mexico, Rolls-Royce UK and Lazada Vietnam, he founded Asia PMO in 2018. Carsten shares his experiences traveling, exploring new cultures in different countries, and the international reach and familiarity of Project Management and PMOs from a global perspective. The more open you are to taking risks and challenges, the more you’ll explore what’s out there.
We familiarize ourself with the idea of channeling your curiosity in to something you’re passionate about. Stop the questioning and start today. “The moment you go full power in, things happen because before when you do it only on a Saturday, Sunday, and you say, oh, I have to come over a certain threshold, you may not reach that threshold because you don’t go full power in.” -Carsten Ley
We realize as we listen it’s about the customer journey and what the customer experience is defined as: the essence of the company. Carsten Ley has just the answers you need.

ABOUT PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE HOURS SERIES
Project Management Office Hours is intended to provide Project Management professionals a place to drop in and discuss Success Stories, Best Practices, and Lessons Learned. Project Management Consultant Joy Gumz has shared with us, “Operations keep the lights on, strategy provides the light at the end of the tunnel, but project management is the train engine that moves the organization forward.”
Each of us has a unique story to tell, but collectively we share a message that organizations who embrace Project Management Best Practices perform better than those which don’t. Organizations which align Projects to Strategy perform better. Organizations with Engage Executive Sponsors deliver better results. Organizations which measure Project Management performance outperform those which don’t.
During our Project Management Office Hours, we hear directly from Industry leaders how to make an impact in our profession. How we, collectively, will Advance Project Management Best Practices, One Listener at a time!
