SUMMARY:Setting You and Your PMO Up for Success: From Chasing Updates to Shaping Decisions
DESCRIPTION:On International PMO Day we did a couple of sessions for corporate members as part of their celebrations – so we thought\, why not share it with the wider community! Here’s what we’ll cover: \nA successful PMO year doesn’t come from doing more of the same. It comes from changing the focus: less chasing\, more shaping; less reporting\, more decision support; less process policing\, more trusted partnership. \nIn this virtual session\, Eileen Roden and Lindsay Scott explore practical ways for PMOs and PMO professionals to become more valued\, confident and future-fit. We’ll look at how PMOs can create better insight\, support stronger decisions\, improve risk conversations\, show real value and build more effective relationships with delivery teams and leaders. \nThe session also focuses on the PMO professional: developing data confidence\, relationship building\, influencing skills\, value focus and an enterprise mindset. Expect practical tips\, small shifts in habits and useful ideas you can take back into your own PMO straight away. \nSecure your place and start shaping a more confident\, valued and future-fit PMO.

SUMMARY:PMO Flashmob London \ Mid-Year Check-In
DESCRIPTION:We’re halfway through 2026\, and the big question is… are the PMO trends we talked about actually coming true? \nBack in January\, House of PMO explored the key trends shaping PMOs – from Stage 0 and smarter prioritisation to AI\, simplification\, and proving value. But what’s really happening? \nAt this meetup\, we’ll take a step back and sense-check: \n\nWhich trends are genuinely gaining traction?\nWhat’s still more talk than reality?\nWhere are PMOs struggling to make the shift?\nAnd most importantly… what should we be doing differently in the second half of the year?\n\nThis will be a relaxed\, discussion-led session: conversation\, shared experiences\, and a chance to compare notes with others facing the same challenges. \nWhether things are going exactly to plan or not quite as expected\, this is a good moment to pause\, reflect\, and recalibrate. \nJoin us for insights\, good conversation\, and a practical mid-year reset. \nPlus we’re on a boat on the Thames\, what’s not to like??

SUMMARY:Introduction to the new Resource Management Course
DESCRIPTION:This webinar introduces the Resource Management course developed for PMO Learning\, grounded in the House of PMO Resource Management Report (2025). It covers the Circle of Resource Management across Project\, Resource and Portfolio lenses\, and uses the five-stage Maturity Model to help you diagnose where your organisation actually is and what realistic next steps look like at your level. \nResource Management for PMOs: From Gut Feel to Better Decisions\nYou know the situation. \nSomeone asks\, “Who is available?” and nobody is quite sure. A project needs people\, but the same names keep appearing. Capacity looks fine on paper\, until delivery starts creaking. Decisions get made on gut feel\, the PMO gets blamed for gaps it could see coming but could not stop\, and the same conversations come round again next quarter. \nResource management is one of those areas that everyone agrees is important\, but very few organisations feel they have properly cracked. It sits across projects\, portfolios\, line management\, finance\, governance and workforce planning – which means it is rarely solved by one spreadsheet\, one tool\, or one PMO person trying to make sense of it all on a Friday afternoon. \nThis webinar introduces the Resource Management course developed for PMO Learning\, grounded in the House of PMO Resource Management Report 2025. \nWe will explore the Circle of Resource Management\, looking at the topic through three connected lenses: \n\nProject – understanding the resource needs of individual projects and delivery teams.\nResource – understanding availability\, capability\, allocation and constraints.\nPortfolio – understanding demand\, priorities\, trade-offs and the bigger organisational picture.\n\n \nWe will also introduce the five-stage Resource Management Maturity Model\, helping you diagnose where your organisation actually is today – not where the leadership says it is\, or where everyone wishes it was. From there\, we will look at what realistic next steps might look like depending on your current level of maturity. \nThis session is not about pretending resource management is easy. It is about making it more visible\, more structured and more useful for decision-making. \nWhat we’ll cover\nIn this webinar\, we’ll look at: \n\nWhy resource management remains such a persistent challenge for PMOs\nThe different perspectives of project\, resource and portfolio management\nHow the Circle of Resource Management helps connect demand\, supply and decision-making\nHow to use the maturity model to understand your organisation’s current position\nWhat “good” might look like at different levels of maturity\nPractical next steps for PMOs that want to move beyond chasing updates and maintaining spreadsheets\n\nWho should attend?\nThis session is ideal for PMO professionals working in or around resource management\, portfolio management\, delivery planning\, governance\, reporting or strategic prioritisation. \nIt will be especially useful if your PMO is trying to improve visibility of resource demand\, support better prioritisation conversations\, or move away from resource decisions based mainly on confidence\, optimism and crossed fingers. \nWhy join?\nYou’ll leave with a clearer understanding of the resource management challenges many PMOs face\, a practical model for thinking about maturity\, and ideas for how your PMO can start improving the conversation in a way that fits your organisation’s reality. \nBecause let’s be honest – “we’ll just find someone” is not a resource strategy.

AI doesn’t solve disconnected systems\, inconsistent processes\, or poor-quality data – it amplifies them. The organisations seeing real value from AI are those that have first invested in digital maturity. \nThis session explores how PMOs can build a single source of truth by connecting project\, portfolio\, resource\, and risk data within the Microsoft ecosystem. We’ll demonstrate how better governance\, integrated reporting\, and intelligent automation create the foundation for AI-driven forecasting\, portfolio insights\, and decision support. Rather than replacing existing investments\, attendees will discover how to unlock more value from Microsoft 365\, Power Platform\, Power BI\, and Copilot using a pragmatic\, phased approach. \nKey takeaways: \n\nWhy AI success depends on trusted\, connected project and portfolio data.\nHow to establish a single source of truth using the Microsoft Power Platform.\nPractical ways to automate reporting\, governance\, and routine PMO activities.\nA realistic roadmap for evolving from manual reporting to AI-powered portfolio intelligence.\n\n\n4.15pm – 4.35pm – Sharing One \nRoom discussions \n4.35pm – 4.50pm – The House of PMO \nA short session from the House of PMO about developments in the PMO profession. \n4.50pm – 5.00pm – Closing reflections \nA summary of the main themes from the afternoon and an invitation for attendees to identify one action they will take back to their PMO. \n\nWho should attend?\nThe event is for people working in or alongside PMOs across healthcare\, police\, fire\, ambulance\, government and other complex or highly regulated organisations. \nIt will be particularly relevant for Heads of PMO\, PMO Managers\, PMO Directors\, Portfolio Managers\, Programme Office leads and PMO practitioners. \nWhy attend?\nYou’ll hear honest experiences from people working in pressured public service environments\, connect with PMO peers and leave with practical ideas to take back to your own organisation. \nJoin the Blue Light PMO community in Leeds and continue the conversation about what PMOs need to support complex and highly regulated organisations. \nFree to attend\, but places are limited\nThis is a free in-person event\, supported by Power Framework. \nPlaces are limited to help keep the afternoon focused and give attendees plenty of opportunity to contribute to the discussion. Please only book if you are intending to attend. \nWe know plans can change\, so if you secure a place and later find you can’t make it\, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer it to someone else. \nBook your free place and join the Blue Light PMO community in Leeds.
