SUMMARY:Edinburgh PMO Flashmob \ PMO Best Practice
DESCRIPTION:Join us at our first PMO Flashmob in Edinburgh post-pandemic! Yes it’s been a while and whilst we love hosting the PMO Conference each November in Edinburgh\, we’ve missed the format of a good old fashioned PMO Flashmob So what’s happening? The session is all about PMO Best Practices. Best practice in PMO are defined as “the set of principles\, methodologies\, models\, frameworks and processes that ensure a PMO  operates efficiently and effectively to support project\, programme\, and portfolio management within an organisation” There are a whole host of different best practices that the PMO utilises so we asked attendees over the last four weeks to choose the four most popular ones they would like to see feature on this evening session. Votng closed – 17th April The four best practice areas are: \n\nStandardisation & Methodologies\nGovernance & Sponsorship\nStrategic Alignment & Portfolio Management\nPMO Service Delivery\n\nWhat to Expect? The session will bring together a mix of learning\, interactive parts and some networking. We’ll be focusing on the top four topic areas as chosen by the poll\, taking a look at each one of them and learning about how each best practice area is tackled by PMOs today. We’ll also give you the opportunity to get involved in a facilitated group exercise so you can learn from others also attending. There will be time for networking and of course we’ll keep you fed and watered too. Where Its Taking Place We’re delighted to be hosted by Computershare in the heart of Edinburgh near St Andrew Square\, see below for location details. The event kicks off at 5.30pm for networking\, drinks\, food from 6pm and we’ll get started at 6.20pm with the main session. Finishing at 8pm\, we’ll be heading to a local pub to carry on the conversation (if you like!)

SUMMARY:MEMBER EVENT - Career Hour: Formal Qualifications
DESCRIPTION:In this career hour session we’re focusing on formal qualifications. There are a number of different options which PMO professionals can pursue in their formal development\, some might be immediately obvious such as project management and PMO. Yet when you consider just how diverse the PMO role can be\, there are other opportunities available which warrant a closer investigation. \nCareer Hour sessions tend to be smaller groups of people\, more interactive in nature – after all\, you yourself will have some opinions about formal qualifications which the group would love to hear about. \nWhat you can expect: \n\nWe will look at the qualification landscape – and give a potted history about the major players in the PPM space\nDiscuss the qualification versus experience conundrum\nThe time\, cost and return on investment of formal qualifications\nHow PMO professionals decide on what qualifications to pursue\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:How to Improve the Value of Your PMO Using Human-Centric Data
DESCRIPTION:Projects fail\, or succeed\, because of the way people think\, behave and act based on their feelings\, beliefs and perceptions\, informed by the actions of the PMO\, impacting decisions made by leaders and team members. \nIt is therefore surprising that these critical psychological and behavioural factors have not until now been measured in a systemised manner. Nor has that data been used to enhance and augment existing project performance and controls data and decision making by PMO’s. \nThe new field of Human-Centric Data offers the project profession and in particular the leaders of PMOs an opportunity to benefit from this hidden data set to improve delivery. \nIn this session\, we are joined by Jonathan Norman and Donnie MacNicol who have been working in this field and will: \n\nExplain the importance and mechanics of Human-Centric Data (HCD)\nShow you what you can measure and the insights you can generate in relation to areas including culture\, collaboration\, team dynamics\, biases\, psychological safety\, wellbeing and productivity\nGive you examples of how capturing and sharing data leads to immediate behaviour changes\nShow you how combining HCD with AI enables you to model and simulate the direction the delivery team are going in and how a major event may affect the team\nHow the PMO can play a key part in ensuring that the five Principles for appropriate and effective HCD capture and sharing are embedded\nHow to use HCD to identify\, monitor and influence the level of Trust and Value perceived by the stakeholders of a PMO\n\n  \n>> You can get an overview of Human Centric Data here before the session. \n \n

SUMMARY:PMO Behaviours - Building Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Drawing from the PMO Competency Framework—a resource crafted by PMO professionals for PMO professionals—this session will unpack resilience as a key behaviour. \nAlongside the core competences\, knowledge and skills required for PMO professionals\, it’s the behaviours that are often overlooked and least spoken about. Behaviours\, the way we choose to conduct ourselves\, really underpins our ability to perform our roles competently. \nIn the PMO Competency Framework\, there are 16 behaviours\, and in this session we focus on one of them: \nBe resilient and maintain a positive attitude \nResilience isn’t just about bouncing back from challenges; it’s about adapting\, learning\, and thriving under pressure. It’s about equipping ourselves and our teams with the tools\, mindset\, and structure to manage uncertainty while continuing to deliver for our organisations. \nWhy does resilience matter in PMOs? Well\, whether you’re managing portfolios\, supporting programmes\, or diving into the nitty-gritty of project delivery\, the ability to adapt while staying aligned to strategic goals is critical. PMOs are not just about frameworks and templates; they’re about people and performance. A resilient PMO enables this balance\, ensuring stability while embracing change. \nThrough today’s session\, we’ll delve into the principles and practices that underpin resilience and discuss how we can embed this crucial behaviour into our PMOs and personal approaches. You’ll hear from Zoe O’Toole who has steered many PMOs through turbulent waters and come out stronger. Zoe is an experienced PMO consultant\, educator and speaker\, passionate about PMO in all its glorious forms. \n

SUMMARY:PMO Career Hour - Moving Between Industries
DESCRIPTION:Career Hour sessions at the House of PMO are exclusive to House of PMO online and full members. \nCareer Hours are run bi-monthly and enable us to concentrate on topics which help us navigate our careers in PMO. Each session brings together a smaller group of practitioners who are happy to share their own experiences – in many ways the sessions become like small coaching circles too\, where a problem shared is a problem halved. \nEach time we take a topic area and share insights from research\, papers and personal experiences and hopefully bring different ways of thinking about our careers. \nThis month the focus is on exploring how PMO experience\, knowledge and skills can be transferred between different industries\, and what practitioners need to consider when making a move to a different sector.

SUMMARY:Inside PMO - Resource Management Roundtable Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Inside PMO Report: 2025 Resource Management Focus \nEach year\, the House of PMO produces the Inside PMO Report\, which is shaped by discussions\, debates\, and real-life insights from PMO practitioners during our annual roundtable discussions. \nIn 2025\, the report will focus on resource management\, revisiting and building on themes explored in our 2016 report\, Beyond Timesheets: The Challenges and Realities of Resource Management.

SUMMARY:Transform Your PMO into a Strategic Business Function: The BIG Opportunity for PMO
DESCRIPTION:Developing a solid strategy is hard enough. Executing it? Even harder. If your organisation is struggling to bridge the gap between strategic vision and real-world delivery\, your PMO could be the key to unlocking success. \nHowever\, PMO is traditionally associated with change projects – whether strategic or tactical. PMOs are less involved in the oversight of objectives & key results\, resource management\, dependency management etc\, across Business as Usual (BAU) and Product Groups – yet these areas are pivotal for strategy execution. \nJoin us for an exclusive member in-person event where we’ll explore how your PMO can evolve into a business function that seamlessly connects strategy to execution – in whatever domain happens. This session will help you uncover the full potential of your PMO or ePMO\, going beyond the traditional role of P3M governance to become the engine that drives your organisation’s strategy across all areas—from change portfolios to Business as Usual (BAU) and Product Groups. \nWhat You’ll Learn:\nStrategic PMO Evolution: Explore how your PMO can support strategy delivery beyond change initiatives\, influencing BAU and Product Group performance. \nCapability Building Blocks: Learn the key elements required to transform your PMO into a fully capable Business Function that drives organisational success. \nInteractive Problem Solving: Engage in discussions about the real-world challenges you face in connecting strategy to delivery and how to overcome them. \nThe BIG Lifecycle: Discover the lifecycle approach to initiating this function and take the first step towards building your PMO as a strategic powerhouse. \n\nMeet Your Speakers:\nDavid Dunning and Eileen Roden are industry experts with years of experience in PMO leadership\, strategy execution\, and business transformation. They’ll share their insights on how you can elevate your PMO and position it at the heart of your organisation’s strategic success. \n\nWhy Attend?\n\nUncover opportunities for your PMO to drive business-wide strategy execution.\nGain practical insights into building the right capabilities to succeed.\nNetwork with like-minded PMO professionals facing similar challenges.\nWalk away with a clear plan to engage stakeholders and propose a holistic strategy delivery framework.\n\n  \n\n  \nSeats are limited\, and this event is exclusive to our members.

DESCRIPTION:When is a Project Manager Not a Project Manager? \nIn a world where organisations constantly try to get more done with fewer people\, many individuals find themselves unexpectedly thrust into project management roles.  And it can end up causing trouble – for them\, for their projects and\, of course\, for the PMO! \nIn this entertaining webinar\, experienced Project Manager turned PMO manager Jeremy Nicholls takes a look at the different types of non-project managers\, those accidental project managers that can be found in all corners of the business.  We’ll find out what makes them tick\, as well as their vulnerabilities (and\, yes\, strengths).  He’ll then look at how the PMO is placed to support each of them and help turn them from dangerous mavericks into project superstars. \nThis session is perfect for PMO professionals looking for ways to support these accidental project managers better or perhaps you yourself have found yourself managing projects unexpectedly. By the end of the webinar\, you’ll understand how to recognise the signs of an accidental project manager and\, more importantly\, how to harness their strengths with the right PMO interventions. \nAbout Jeremy Nicholls \nJeremy has worked as a project manager and PMO manager for some amazing clients over the course of his career including Linklaters LLP\, Barclays Wealth and Gatwick Airport. Nowadays\, he spends his time helping organisations deliver projects better through project consultancy\, coaching and training.  His book on project fundamentals\, The Everyday Project Manager\, is published by Routledge Press and is available to order at https://everydaypm.co.uk.

SUMMARY:The Circle of Resource Management
DESCRIPTION:The Inside PMO Report – Beyond Timesheets: The Challenges and Realities of Resource Management – the report focuses on resource management in the PMO and outlines a structured approach to managing resources across portfolio\, project\, and individual levels\, emphasising capacity planning\, allocation\, and skills development. It highlights the PMO’s central role in balancing resource demands\, ensuring alignment with organisational priorities\, and addressing the challenges of managing skilled personnel effectively. \nThe “Circle of Resource Management” concept from the report identifies three interdependent segments that are essential for managing resources within a delivery organisation: \n\nThe Portfolio Segment: This part focuses on strategic resource management\, such as capacity planning\, to ensure the organisation has the right size and capacity to deliver projects and programmes. It involves tools for planning\, modelling\, and forecasting to align resource availability with portfolio demands.\nThe Project Segment: This segment handles resource allocation and utilisation at the project level. It deals with managing the demand for resources\, tracking their usage\, and ensuring cost-effective resource allocation.\nThe Resource Segment: This focuses on individual resources and their skills\, capabilities\, and training. Components include role descriptions\, assessments\, training development\, and recruitment efforts to ensure the right people are available and equipped to work on projects.\n\nEach of these segments includes specific tasks and activities and requires appropriate tools to function effectively. The model also acknowledges the influence of business context and culture in determining where to start with resource management\, emphasising that there is no one-size-fits-all approach​. \nIn this session\, we revisit the report and gain a refresher on the circle of resource management which was first published in 2017. In December 2024 we will be revisiting the subject of resource management again- using the report as a basis to dig deeper and understand the next level of detail plus find out more about the ongoing challenges that PMOs have in this area. \nThis session aligns to the resource management competence plus capability development and capacity development. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Systems Thinking Really Can Help with Complexity
DESCRIPTION:We’re joined by Prof Martin Parr\, expert in systems thinking and complex project management. \nWe often need to make difficult decisions e.g. how much should I invest in automation? Should I push my board harder to change? We always have limited information\, great pressure for results and divergent options; Systems Thinking can help with all of these. \nSystems Thinking is an established approach to dealing with complexity that is now championed by central government\, the World Health Organisation and the Royal Academy of Engineering. Systems Thinking has the power to get to the heart of our problems; and one of the really powerful things that Systems Thinking offers is the ability to take a group of stakeholders on a journey of discovery. This journey is an essential enabler for organisational change. \nMartin will highlight some big projects and decisions that have moved forward because of Systems Thinking. He will also demonstrate the benefits of systems thinking in a number of areas\, including national statistics data that highlights the difference that Systems Thinking has made to a UK national project. \nWe’ll leave this session having a deeper and more practical understanding about systems thinking and how it can help the PMO better support our own organisations. \nThis session aligns with the Skills section of the PMO Competency Framework – category: Thinking. \n  \nMore About Martin \nProf Martin Parr is an expert on systems thinking and has designed the curriculum for the UK’s first Level 7 systems thinking apprenticeship. Martin has worked for over 20 years as a consultant on complex projects\, many of which have been delivered for the UK public sector. Martin has provided advice to a number of programmes with annual budgets of over £1bn\, and has taken a systems approach to reviewing the governance arrangements for GMPP with a whole life cost of around £600bn. Martin is a Visiting Fellow at Cranfield University and the Department for Education. Martin hosts the Evolving Enterprises podcast. \n
