SUMMARY:Career Hour - How AI Can Help in Our Careers
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 the use of AI – specifically Generative AI – and how we can use it to help us in our careers. That could be anything from helping us in the recruitment process\, to professional development\, career progression and more. \nJoin us as we explore a new tool together and see what’s possible.

SUMMARY:EXTERNAL: Birmingham: Microsoft Solution Showcase for a Data-Driven PMO
DESCRIPTION:This is an external sponsored event hosted by Program Framework with the House of PMO presenting as guest speakers. Free to attend\, in-person in Birmingham\, places are limited. \n\nTime & Location\n\n\n17 Oct 2024\, 08:30 – 12:30 \nMeeting Space at 44 Blucher Street\, 44 Blucher St\, Birmingham B1 1QJ\, UK \n\n\n\nAbout the event\n\n\nModern PMOs are busier than ever. Gartner cites a whole range of Hot Topics for PPM\, such as Demand Management\, Resource Management\, Programme and Portfolio Management\, Reporting & Dashboards\, Strategy realisation and so on. Yet many PMOs are still held back by inefficient manual processes\, disconnected data sets and the ever-ongoing struggle of engaging stakeholders. \n  \n\n\n\nWhat Microsoft cloud services help us digitally transform the PMO? \nFor any organisation already invested in Microsoft cloud\, there is an obvious path: apply the platform you already own to the challenges of the PMO. This event will help you make sense of Microsoft services so you can make a start. The newly branded Microsoft Planner is at the heart of this\, and so are services like Teams\, Power Apps\, Power Automate and Power BI as well as Copilot and other AI services. An amazing platform to unite all your data in one place\, as the basis for collaboration\, automation\, integration and efficiencies delivered through AI! \nHouse of PMO Presentation: Benefits of Friction Between PMO and Delivery Teams \nWe are going to talk about more than just technology: Our friends at House of PMO Eileen Roden and Lindsay Scott will discuss how PMOs continue to be challenged about their value to the organisation. Yet despite that\, more and more PMOs are being set up – so how can that be? Let’s uncover where the real value of the PMO is and address the elephant in the room – the friction that exists between the PMO and delivery teams. The session will discuss the underlying causes for friction\, how to work with it and how friction helps deliver higher value for everyone involved in change delivery. \nWhat you will learn from this event: \n\nWhat are the “digital transformation” tools in the Microsoft platform\nWhy do they make a unique business case for your PMO\nWhat is the “art of the possible”\, and how will AI push this even further\nWhat are the real-world considerations when undertaking a tool implementation in this platform – not least the impact on friction between stakeholders\nHow can you make a start with very little budget\n\nExpect to see plenty of practical demonstrations of real-world applications\, including our highly functional PMO application Power Framework\, built in the Microsoft Power Platform. \nRegister to attend – limited spaces \nRegistrations will be accepted via the Program Framework website here>> \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
