Abstract

This study illuminates innovation and its importance in determining economic and social growth. However, obstacles and challenges hinder the successful implementation of innovation. This study aims to revolutionize the role of the project management office (PMO) as a critical enabler for promoting and managing the innovation process and deepen our knowledge of a specific concept, focusing on depth rather than breadth. By adopting the narrative literature review, the initial search identified 655 articles; however, the final dataset included 59 articles analyzed to investigate the association between PMO and innovation. The findings reveal the capabilities required for successful innovation projects, which can be classified as dynamic innovation and project capabilities. The study findings have practical implications for organizations choosing and aligning the right PMO design with their organizational, strategic, and innovation objectives.
