Join us for the highlights webinar where we take a look back to the previous week of the PMO Conference.
In this one hour session we'll share the insights from the different sessions - our key takeaways.
Join us as we hear from other conference attendees and what they took away - plus the practical elements they'll be using in their own PMOs.
In this session, Gary shares his experiences and insights from his career – attendees should look at a recent article from Gary - 5 Key Items to being a Successful PMO Lead. Gary talks about performing an initial assessment when commencing work on a new opportunity within an existing and underperforming PMO.
The article forms the foundation for this session today on PMO models and resourcing, the options available in PMO structure and how these can be resourced. Gary draws on his personal experiences of working in a number of different models and ways of resourcing and shares his practical insights.
Gary also looks at the Agile scaled delivery models and the continued movement towards a strategic PMO. With different options available to meet business demands and differing business cultures, attendees will leave the session with a broader understanding of why specific models are chosen and what the PMO can be doing to ensure it is flexible and adaptable in its capability to provide the services required.
The PMO Director role is often misunderstood – or not even present in many organisations committed to delivering change through portfolios, programmes, and projects.
We’re delighted to have Mitch Rollings join us for this session. Mitch is an experienced PMO Director with over 20 years in the role of PMO Director and Head of PPM. He currently works for Westpac, the leading Australian bank and has previously worked for Vodafone, AWE, Atkins and British Gas, to name a few.
We will find out more about the PMO Director role – its purpose and the key accountabilities. Mitch will share insights from his own experiences, getting into the structure of the role; the context he’s working in; the relationships with executives; some of the challenges he has faced in the position and his thoughts on the real difference a PMO can make to an organisation.
Mitch has some great stories to share and he’ll be giving us his insights from the first 100 days in the role.
This session will certainly give you much food for thought plus you’ll be guaranteed to take away lots of gold nuggets of actionable insights.
There are two things that PMOs seem to struggle with today - the first, about the value they are adding to their organisations and their role in providing governance-related services.
In this session, we bring the two together and provide much food for thought with something called business integrated governance.
Do you run an effective PMO, yet feel that you can offer so much more to the running of your business? Are you fed up with trying to upsell the service you provide from an effectiveness and efficiency viewpoint – because the business just doesn’t buy it?
Perhaps you’re taking the wrong approach?
In this free session we take a look at the PMO service catalogue and learn how to create a PMO service. Attendees will learn about why a service catalogue exists, what it is used for and how to create one for your PMO.
Eileen will get into the detail of what a service consists of and how to complete the description of a service and the key elements required to fully outline the service.
You’ll also see examples of the latest services to be added by the House of PMO and you’ll be encouraged to take part in the latest initiative by the House of PMO – The PMO Service Catalogue Project.
In this session we launch the new Inside PMO Report. Simply called PMO Leadership, we will take a look at what leaders in PMOs today are doing and gain insights on how they manage and lead their PMO teams.
The session also brings a focus onto leadership skills and how these are adopted and used - not just by the PMO Managers themselves - but also by their PMO team members. Leadership is not just something senior managers do, its in all of us, and we all demonstrate leadership in our day-to-day roles.
The Inside PMO Report will also be launched on the 6th May and available to download and read later.
Join us as we explore PMO leadership - what it is, who does it, how do they do it, why it's needed and when does it happen.
The brilliant thing about a career in PMO is that there is opportunity, literally hundreds of different opportunities – and we’re not just talking about moving on and out to a Project or Programme Manager role.
We can choose to work in different types of PMOs, work at different levels of responsibility and authority, choose to become the go-to-person in a certain area. We can choose to lead innovation in our PMOs; or make things better for our senior executives or create a great team of PMO practitioners who are knocking it out of the park. Great things can happen in a PMO career.
To take advantage of opportunities it takes a combination of things – such as experience, skills, behaviours, attitude, luck and much more. Sometimes our organisation helps us to be in a position to take up opportunities, sometimes it comes from our own drive and determination. When you take ownership for your own career, that’s when doors start to open.
In this interactive session we’ll be covering different areas of “taking ownership” – what that really means, what does it look like, how you can take ownership.
We’ll also look closer at the “PMO career” and uncover lots of different avenues that should spark thoughts about your own career to date and where you want to be next.
Full of practical tips and insights plus a chance to hear how others are taking ownership of their PMO career – it’s a session you wouldn’t want to miss if you love what you do and want to do more of it.
