Setting You and Your PMO Up for Success: From Chasing Updates to Shaping Decisions
2026-06-10 12:00 - 13:00 | https://houseofpmo.com/event/setting-you-and-your-pmo-up-for-success-from-chasing-updates-to-shaping-decisions/
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:
A 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.
In 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.
The 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.
Secure your place and start shaping a more confident, valued and future-fit PMO.

PMO Flashmob London Mid-Year Check-In
2026-06-10 17:30 - 21:00 | Tattershall Castle, Victoria Embankment, Westminster,, London, SW1A 2HR
We’re halfway through 2026, and the big question is… are the PMO trends we talked about actually coming true?
Back 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?
At this meetup, we’ll take a step back and sense-check:

Which trends are genuinely gaining traction?
What’s still more talk than reality?
Where are PMOs struggling to make the shift?
And most importantly… what should we be doing differently in the second half of the year?

This will be a relaxed, discussion-led session: conversation, shared experiences, and a chance to compare notes with others facing the same challenges.
Whether things are going exactly to plan or not quite as expected, this is a good moment to pause, reflect, and recalibrate.
Join us for insights, good conversation, and a practical mid-year reset.
Plus we’re on a boat on the Thames, what’s not to like??

Introduction to the new Resource Management Course
2026-06-23 12:30 - 13:30 | https://houseofpmo.com/event/introduction-to-the-new-resource-management-course/
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.
Resource Management for PMOs: From Gut Feel to Better Decisions
You know the situation.
Someone 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.
Resource 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.
This webinar introduces the Resource Management course developed for PMO Learning, grounded in the House of PMO Resource Management Report 2025.
We will explore the Circle of Resource Management, looking at the topic through three connected lenses:

Project – understanding the resource needs of individual projects and delivery teams.
Resource – understanding availability, capability, allocation and constraints.
Portfolio – understanding demand, priorities, trade-offs and the bigger organisational picture.

We 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.
This session is not about pretending resource management is easy. It is about making it more visible, more structured and more useful for decision-making.
What we’ll cover
In this webinar, we’ll look at:

Why resource management remains such a persistent challenge for PMOs
The different perspectives of project, resource and portfolio management
How the Circle of Resource Management helps connect demand, supply and decision-making
How to use the maturity model to understand your organisation’s current position
What “good” might look like at different levels of maturity
Practical next steps for PMOs that want to move beyond chasing updates and maintaining spreadsheets

Who should attend?
This session is ideal for PMO professionals working in or around resource management, portfolio management, delivery planning, governance, reporting or strategic prioritisation.
It 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.
Why join?
You’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.
Because let’s be honest – “we’ll just find someone” is not a resource strategy.

PMO HotHouse / June 2026

If you’re after a quick hit of PMO thinking, PMO HotHouse delivers. This monthly session brings together news, practical ideas and real experiences in short, sharp segments. No long presentations, just a steady flow of things to take in and react to.
It’s interactive, a bit unpredictable, and not afraid to try things. That might mean a different take on a familiar topic, or something completely unexpected like an “ad break” that isn’t really an ad. Either way, you’ll come away with something new.
June’s show will feature the PMO Conference heavily!

Inside PMO Report / Specialist Roles in the PMO
2026-06-30 12:30 - 13:30 | https://houseofpmo.com/event/inside-pmo-report-specialist-roles-in-the-pmo/
Following the official launch of the Inside PMO Report 2026 at the PMO Conference, join House of PMO for this virtual session exploring the key findings from this year’s report: Specialist Roles in the PMO – Career Paths, Capability and the Future Shape of PMO.
As organisations ask more of their PMOs – better data, stronger governance, clearer insight and more joined-up ways of working – specialist capability is becoming more visible. But what does that mean for PMO professionals, PMO leaders and the future shape of PMO teams?
In this session, we’ll share the highlights from the report and the presentation first delivered at the PMO Conference. We’ll look at why generalist PMO roles still provide an important foundation, when specialist roles begin to emerge, and how areas such as data, governance, assurance, benefits, resource management and PMO systems are evolving.
We’ll also explore the idea of the T-shaped PMO professional – balancing broad PMO understanding with deeper expertise – and consider why the future PMO may be defined less by job titles and more by the capabilities it develops and the value it enables.
Join us on Tuesday 30th June at 12.30pm BST for a practical look at the report findings and what they mean for the future of PMO.

Collaboration: A Crucial PMO Skill
2026-07-08 12:30 - 13:30 | https://houseofpmo.com/event/pmo-skill-collaboration/
You’ve been in that room.
Everyone agreed to collaborate. Then nobody really did.
One person’s view dominated. The quieter voices stayed quiet. What came out the other end was managed agreement dressed up as consensus.
In this interactive virtual session, we’ll explore collaboration as a core skill within the PMO Competency Framework, looking at what genuine collaboration actually requires, why goodwill and positive intent are not enough on their own, and how PMO professionals can create better conditions for people to contribute, challenge, listen and move work forward together.
The session is aimed at PMO practitioners who want to keep evolving how they support teams, stakeholders and decision-making, the session will be practical, conversational and grounded in the realities of the job, with space to share examples, learn from others and reflect on the collaboration habits that help – and those that don’t.
The session is presented by Zoe O’Toole, experienced PMO practitioner, consultant and trainer, who delivers many of the Essential courses at the House of PMO.

PMO Career Hour - When You’ve Outgrown Your Role
2026-09-02 12:00 - 13:00 | https://houseofpmo.com/event/pmo-career-hour-when-youve-outgrown-your-role/
There comes a point in many PMO careers when a role that once felt challenging starts to feel a little too comfortable. You might be doing the job well, but learning less or perhaps you’ve taken on responsibilities beyond your job title, there’s nowhere obvious to progress, or you’re simply beginning to wonder, what next?
Outgrowing your role doesn’t automatically mean it’s time to leave – sometimes the right move is to stretch the role you already have, reshape it around new responsibilities, develop a specialist area, move sideways into a different type of PMO, or have a conversation about progression and promotion. And sometimes, of course, it really is time to move on.
In this members-only PMO Career Hour, we’ll explore how to recognise the signs that you may have outgrown your current role and, more importantly, how to work out what to do about it.
We’ll look at the different options available within a PMO career, how to distinguish between being comfortable, frustrated and genuinely ready for something new, and how to assess whether the opportunity you need could still exist inside your current organisation.
We’ll also talk about the practical career conversations that can feel difficult to start – asking for more responsibility, making the case for progression, exploring sideways moves and deciding when staying put may actually be holding you back.
As always with Career Hour, this is an informal and interactive session. Bring your questions, experiences and career dilemmas and join other House of PMO members who may be asking exactly the same thing:
Have I outgrown my role – and if I have, what should I do next?

The Competency Framework for PMO Administrators
2026-09-03 12:00 - 12:30 | https://houseofpmo.com/event/the-competency-framework-for-pmo-administrators/
Following on from the PMO Administrator Summer School we take a look at the PMO Competency Framework Self-Assessment and how it can be used to help career development in the PMO.
In this session we will be looking at the Self-Assessment tool itself and sharing how to self-assess against the competences, knowledge, skills and behaviours. We will also look at how we can use the tool to help plan our development – through understanding where our gaps might lie and crucially, practical ways to help close those gaps.
We also get into formal development plans and how CPD can help us develop as individuals. All this from just one membership benefit at the House of PMO.
Who is this session for?
For anyone currently working at the PMO Administrator level; looking to get into PMO or project management; students and others who are keen to understand PMO Administration as a career.

Which PMO Qualification Is Right for You?
2026-09-09 12:00 - 12:45 | https://houseofpmo.com/event/which-pmo-qualification-is-right-for-you/
With so many project, portfolio and PMO qualifications available, choosing the right one can feel harder than completing the course itself!
This 45-minute session will help you make sense of the options by starting with the work you do now, the role you want next and the capability you need to develop. We’ll explore the different qualification routes available to PMO professionals, from role-based learning for PMO Administrators, Analysts, Managers and Directors to broader PMO models, portfolio management and specialist subjects.
Rather than running through a catalogue of courses, we’ll use practical career scenarios, common qualification myths and a simple decision-making framework to help you identify the learning that best fits your needs.
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of:

The different types of PMO qualifications available
Which qualifications suit different PMO roles and career stages
When a broad qualification or specialist course might be more useful
How to turn formal learning into practical development at work
The questions to ask before committing your time and budget

Whether you are new to PMO, looking to take your next career step or supporting the development of a PMO team, this session will help you choose your next move with greater confidence.

AI for PMOs: Practical Applications & Strategy / London
2026-09-17 17:30 - 20:00 | Nationwide, Holborn, London, 100 Museum Street / New Oxford Street, London
AI is helping plenty of people work faster, but that doesn’t automatically mean the whole organisation is getting better results. In many cases, AI has simply been added to existing ways of working, a bit like adding another tab to an already chaotic spreadsheet and hoping it somehow sorts everything out!
In this face-to-face PMO Masterclass, John McIntyre will look at how PMOs can move beyond random experiments and start using AI in a more joined-up, practical way. We’ll explore where AI genuinely helps, where human judgement still matters, and how to avoid spending more time checking and fixing AI output than the time it was supposed to save.
Using familiar PMO examples such as meeting actions, lessons learned and reporting, John will share practical ideas you can test straight away. You’ll leave with a clearer view of how the PMO can help turn AI from an interesting tool into something that delivers real value.
Who is it for?
This face-to-face PMO Masterclass is for PMO professionals who want to move beyond casual, individual use of AI and understand how it can support better processes, governance and organisational outcomes.
The session will be presented by John McIntyre of HotPMO.
What will the masterclass cover?
The session explores why AI may be making individuals more productive without necessarily improving the organisation around them.
John will look at how PMOs can move from simply bolting AI onto existing activities towards redesigning repeatable, accountable and auditable ways of working.
Practical examples will include:

turning meeting transcripts into managed actions
using AI to keep lessons learned alive and useful
creating more consistent and auditable reporting processes
balancing AI capability with human judgement
introducing clearer accountability, governance and cost visibility

When is it taking place?
Thursday 17 September 2026 – 5.30pm to 8.00pm
Where is it being held?
Nationwide, Holborn, London
This is an in-person event, giving attendees the opportunity to learn, discuss ideas and share experiences with fellow PMO professionals.
Why should you attend?
Many organisations are experimenting with AI, but fewer are successfully turning that experimentation into measurable value.
PMOs are well placed to help bridge that gap through benefits management, change management, process discipline, governance and outcome-focused thinking. The session will explore why redesign and integration, rather than the technology alone, could become a significant PMO capability.
How will the session help?
Attendees will leave with practical experiments they can try immediately, alongside a clearer understanding of where AI belongs within PMO processes and where human oversight must remain.
The aim is not simply to help people use AI more often. It is to help PMOs use it more deliberately, safely and effectively.

Following the success of the first Blue Light PMO Summit in London, the House of PMO is bringing the conversation to Leeds.

Building PMO capability
Supporting change while continuing to deliver essential services

Introducing the PMO at St James’s, including:

The role and remit of the PMO

The session will explore:

What happens when an organisation enters special measures

Suggested discussion areas:

Where should the PMO sit and who should sponsor it?
How do PMOs influence decisions when everything appears to be a priority?
How do teams balance transformation with keeping essential services running?
What capability is currently missing from public service PMOs?
How can governance become simpler and more useful?
What do PMO leaders need from one another?

The session will include questions and contributions from the audience.
3.40pm – 4.15pm – AI Starts with Data: The PMO’s Journey to Digital Maturity
Every PMO wants to leverage AI, but few have the trusted data foundation needed to make it work. 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.
This 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.
Key takeaways:

Why AI success depends on trusted, connected project and portfolio data.
How to establish a single source of truth using the Microsoft Power Platform.
Practical ways to automate reporting, governance, and routine PMO activities.
A realistic roadmap for evolving from manual reporting to AI-powered portfolio intelligence.

4.15pm – 4.35pm – Sharing One

4.50pm – 5.00pm – Closing reflections

The event is for people working in or alongside PMOs across healthcare, police, fire, ambulance, government and other complex or highly regulated organisations.
It will be particularly relevant for Heads of PMO, PMO Managers, PMO Directors, Portfolio Managers, Programme Office leads and PMO practitioners.
Why attend?
You’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.
Join the Blue Light PMO community in Leeds and continue the conversation about what PMOs need to support complex and highly regulated organisations.

PMO HotHouse / September 2026
2026-09-25 12:15 - 13:00 | https://houseofpmo.com/event/pmo-hothouse-september-2026/
PMO HotHouse is back with another mix of insights, ideas and shared experiences from across the PMO community. It’s a chance to stay current, hear what others are doing and pick up a few things you can take back into your own work.
Because the agenda isn’t fixed, each session has its own feel. Sometimes it’s a useful tip, sometimes it’s a challenge to how things are usually done, and sometimes it’s just a reminder that PMO can be a bit more creative than we give it credit for.

AI in the PMO: Useful, Uncomfortable and Unavoidable? / Edinburgh
2026-10-01 17:30 - 20:00 | Computershare, Edinburgh House, 4 North St. Andrew Street,, Edinburgh, EH2 1HJ
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?
Join 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.
We’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.
Rather 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.
Expect different perspectives, practical examples, plenty of audience questions and probably a few disagreements along the way.
And remember, this is the House of PMO, so there will be an empty seat available!
Doors open at 5.30pm for drinks, pizza and networking, with the House of PMO briefing and panel session beginning at 6.15pm.
