SUMMARY:Behaviours of a Successful PMO (In-Person Event)
DESCRIPTION:What we do\, how we show up\, and why it matters\nWhat really makes a PMO successful? It’s rarely the frameworks or the tools alone – it’s the behaviours behind them. \nThis interactive session explores the behaviours that underpin effective PMOs\, drawing directly from the PMO Competency Framework and insights from the Inside PMO research. We’ll look at behaviour at three levels: \n\nindividual PMO professionals\,\nPMO teams\,\nand the PMO as an organisational entity.\n\nBecause behaviour isn’t just personal. When it’s consistent and collective\, it shapes trust\, influence\, and outcomes. \n  \nWhy behaviour matters\nPMOs don’t operate in a vacuum. Organisational culture\, pressure\, incentives\, and context all influence how a PMO behaves day to day. \nWe’ll explore why behaviours that work well in a portfolio PMO might not land in a project office or a centre of excellence\, and how context changes what ‘good’ looks like. We’ll also look at the unintended behaviours PMOs can drift into under pressure – and what to do about them. \nWe’ll unpack: \n\nWhy some PMO behaviours stick\nWhy others create friction or resistance\nHow small\, intentional shifts can make a big difference to credibility and engagement\n\n  \nWhat to expect\nThis isn’t a one‑way presentation. \nExpect discussion\, reflection\, and shared experience with people who understand the realities of PMO work. You’ll be encouraged to think about your own PMO context\, challenge assumptions\, and learn from others in the room. \nYou’ll leave with practical insight you can apply straight back in your PMO – whether that’s in how you influence\, how your team works together\, or how the PMO is perceived across the organisation. \nExpect discussion\, reflection\, and shared experience – not a one-way presentation. This session is ideal for experienced PMO professionals who want to evolve their practice\, learn from peers\, and leave with practical insight they can apply straight back in their PMO. \nWe’ll keep you fed and watered throughout the session with drinks and nibbles. \n  \nWho’s leading the session\nThis session is led by Carol Hindley and Eileen Roden – co-authors of the PMO Competency FRamework both highly experienced PMO practitioners with a strong focus on how PMOs really operate in practice. They bring deep insight into PMO behaviours\, capability development\, and the realities PMOs face inside complex organisations. Expect practical perspectives\, honest discussion\, and facilitation that encourages shared learning rather than theory-heavy answers. \n  \n\nEvent details\nLocation\nNationwide House\nPipers Way\nSwindon\nSN3 1TA \nTimings\n5.30pm – arrival and networking\n6.00pm – session starts\n8.00pm – finish \nTickets\nFree for members\n£10 + VAT for non‑members \nPlaces are limited. Booking is essential. \n  \n

SUMMARY:PMO at Sea: Staying Relevant in a World That Won’t Sit Still
DESCRIPTION:Step onboard for a PMO event like no other – our first ever session hosted at sea.\nJoin us in person on a Red Funnel ferry as we sail from Southampton to the Isle of Wight (and back again!)\, for an interactive masterclass session led by the Roke PMO team. \nIt’s a chance to step out of the usual setting and explore how PMOs operate when everything around them is moving (literally and organisationally). \nA structured\, interactive session led by the Roke PMO team\, exploring how the PMO role can evolve to continually add value in complex and fast-changing environments.  \nAt Roke\, their mission is to shape the future of digital defence and security by solving complex\, high-stakes challenges with purpose and lasting impact. The domains in which they operate are strongly influenced by global political and technological change\, creating dynamic and evolving customer needs across the world. \nTo support this\, Roke’s PMO function is designed to be highly adaptable\, enabling informed decision-making and efficient delivery at pace.  \nIn this session\, they will discuss practical approaches and lessons learned on how a modern PMO can continuously adjust its services to meet business needs\, maximise value\, and support delivery in uncertain environments. Expect lots of interactivity and sharing as we make our way out to sea. \nAs we sail across the Solent\, this is your chance to step away from the day-to-day\, connect with others\, and reflect on how your PMO can stay on course in changing conditions. Whether you’re navigating calm waters or choppier seas\, you’ll leave with fresh ideas\, practical takeaways\, and a clearer sense of direction for the journey ahead. \nWhat You Need to Know\nThis is an in-person event taking place onboard a Red Funnel ferry\, departing from Southampton.

SUMMARY:Digital AI Analytics in Action for the PMO
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a live demo from AtkinsRéalis\, exploring how AI-driven analytics is being applied in real PMO environments. \nIn this interactive session\, you’ll see how digital tools can turn complex data into clear\, actionable insight. Through practical demonstrations\, AtkinsRéalis will showcase how AI is supporting better decision-making\, improving visibility\, and enhancing performance across projects and portfolios. \nThis is an in-person event in Edinburgh\, with full venue details shared in the joining instructions. \nThis session aligns with key areas of the PMO Competency Framework\, particularly in developing capability in data and insights\, digital and technology awareness\, and stakeholder communication – helping PMO professionals strengthen how they interpret\, present\, and act on data. \nAlongside the demo\, the session we’ll create the space to connect with peers\, share experiences\, and explore how others are approaching AI within their PMOs. \nWhether you’re just starting to explore AI or already experimenting with it\, this is a hands-on look at what’s possible and what’s next.

SUMMARY:International PMO Day: Celebrating PMO – and the many ways it makes a difference!
DESCRIPTION:In-Person Event / London\nJoin us on International PMO Day for a special in-person gathering in the heart of London\, as we celebrate the vital role PMOs play in shaping successful change across organisations. \nThis session takes a practical and celebratory look at the many ways PMO supports change\, P3M delivery and decision-making across an organisation. \nPMO means different things to different people. For some\, it’s a formal office or team. For others\, it’s a role\, a set of services\, or simply the work that helps projects\, programmes and portfolios run more effectively. That’s often where the confusion starts but also where the opportunity sits. \nTogether\, we’ll explore what PMO actually does in practice\, the different shapes it can take\, and the value it brings at every level – from coordination and control through to insight\, enablement and strategic support. Drawing on House of PMO’s work across the wider PMO community\, and inviting attendees to share their own experiences\, questions and observations\, we’ll build a shared understanding of what good PMO looks like in a complex organisation and the contribution it makes. \nIt’s a chance to celebrate PMO in all its forms\, recognise the people behind it\, and open up a useful conversation about what PMO really means in practice. \nHelp Us Celebrate\nAnd because it’s a celebration\, we’ll continue the conversation afterwards with drinks nearby – a relaxed way to connect\, swap stories and mark the occasion together. \nCome along\, be part of it\, and celebrate PMO in all its forms. \nSet in historic Southwark – one of London’s oldest and most dynamic areas\, long associated with movement\, trade and new ideas – it’s a fitting backdrop for a conversation about the role PMO plays in enabling change across organisations. \n

SUMMARY:AI in the PMO: Useful\, Uncomfortable and Unavoidable? / Edinburgh
DESCRIPTION:AI is moving quickly from something we experiment with to something that is beginning to change how organisations plan\, deliver and manage change. But what does that actually mean for PMOs and the people working within them? \nJoin the House of PMO in Edinburgh for an after-work evening of drinks\, pizza\, networking and conversation as we bring together a panel of PMO and change professionals to explore AI in the real world. \nWe’ll start the evening with a short House of PMO briefing\, sharing what we’re seeing across the PMO profession right now and some of the questions emerging around AI\, before handing over to our panel. \nRather than another session about what AI might do one day\, we’ll get into the conversations PMO practitioners are having now: where AI is genuinely proving useful\, where the hype is getting ahead of reality\, what organisations are comfortable with\, what they’re worried about\, and how the role of the PMO might change as adoption grows. \nExpect different perspectives\, practical examples\, plenty of audience questions and probably a few disagreements along the way. \nAnd remember\, this is the House of PMO\, so there will be an empty seat available! \nDoors open at 5.30pm for drinks\, pizza and networking\, with the House of PMO briefing and panel session beginning at 6.15pm.

SUMMARY:AI and the PMO Service Catalogue: Rethinking How PMO Services Are Delivered / Newcastle
DESCRIPTION:AI isn’t just going to help PMOs do the same work faster\, it has the potential to change the work itself. \nReporting\, governance\, assurance\, planning\, resourcing\, insight\, decision support – almost every PMO service could be affected as AI capability develops. The interesting question\, then\, isn’t simply “How can we use AI?” It’s “What should our PMO services look like in an AI-enabled world?” \nIn this interactive session\, we’ll use the new House of PMO Service Catalogue to explore that question. \nFor the first time\, the catalogue considers how AI could support the delivery of individual PMO services – from reducing routine administration and analysing large volumes of information\, to spotting patterns\, generating insight and supporting better decisions. \nThe real opportunity goes beyond automation\nTogether\, we’ll explore the difference between using AI to make an existing service quicker and using it to rethink how that service is designed and delivered. We’ll also look at the places where human judgement\, context\, challenge\, relationships and accountability remain crucial. \nParticipants will get hands-on too\, working with a familiar PMO service to explore how it could evolve as AI becomes more capable. \nBy the end of the session\, you’ll have a clearer understanding of where AI could make a practical difference to PMO work\, where its boundaries lie\, and how the House of PMO Service Catalogue can help you review and develop your own service offering. \nYou don’t need to be an AI expert. You just need to be ready to ask a bigger question: \nIf AI changes how PMO work gets done\, how should the PMO itself change? \n  \nWhat you need to know\nA face 2 face event taking place on Thursday 22nd October from 5.30pm to 8.00pm – this is an in-person event. \nThe event will take place at Newcastle Building Society\, 1 Cobalt Way\, Wallsend\, NE28 9EJ \nTickets required to gain access to the event\, please RSVP to secure your place. \n
