SUMMARY:PMO Development Plans and CPD
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an interactive webinar exploring the PMO Competency Framework self-assessment tool and its two new features – development plans and Continuing Professional Development (CPD). We’ll walk through how these elements support career growth and team capability within the PMO\, show you how to use them effectively\, and give a live demo of the tool in action. \nYou’ll also get the chance to see how the new development plan and CPD features link directly to the PMO Competency Framework\, helping you map skills\, track progress\, and plan for future growth – whether for yourself or your whole PMO team. \nThe PMO Competency Framework self-assessment tool is available as a member benefit for all House of PMO members. If you’re not a member yet and wanting to find out more about how this tool may be useful to you in your PMO career\, please RSVP to join us. \n

SUMMARY:PMI PMO unCON
DESCRIPTION:PMI’s unconference focused on PMOs takes place in the US in October. \nAn unconference is a participant-driven event that turns the traditional conference model on its head. Rather than having a rigid agenda set by organisers in advance\, the content and flow of the event are shaped by attendees themselves\, often on the day. \nHere’s what they say about PMO unCON: \nPMO unCON is more than an event — it’s an immersive experience.Every session is intentionally designed to place participants at the center\, empowering you to lead conversations\, share real challenges\, and grow together.\nIt’s about turning insight into action through unconventional formats that ignite interaction\, spark bold thinking\, and build meaningful connections.\nStep into a space where your voice matters\, your ideas take shape\, and your experience becomes part of something greater.\nPMO unCON isn’t just where you attend — it’s where you belong \nFind out more via the website

SUMMARY:Making Change Stick: How PMO Helps Drive Real Results
DESCRIPTION:We’re back in Manchester for a PMO Flashmob and this time we are joined by Louise Barker\, Head of Strategic Delivery and Improvement at Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust. \nTransformation isn’t just about delivering projects – it’s about doing things better\, together\, for the long run. In this session\, Louise shares how their PMO has brought together project delivery\, change management and quality improvement into one clear approach that actually works. \nYou’ll hear how they: \n\nAlign big change programmes with what really matters to the organisation\nKeep everything on track with a clear governance structure that doesn’t get in the way\nShow real improvements in patient care and service delivery\nSupport people through the change – not just processes – with strong leadership and capability building\n\nWe’ll also explore some of the tools and forums that help make it all happen – like the Change Initiation Forum and benefits sequencing – plus what they’ve learned along the way that others in the NHS (or any complex organisation) can take and use. \nMany thanks to Gravitas Recruitment for hosting the session – join us for learning\, drinks and nibbles!

DESCRIPTION:Do you know your Context Window from your Cutoff Date?\nYour Flipped from your Chain of Thought?\nYour Shots from your Tokens? \nIf not\, don’t panic – you’re not alone. \nThe House of PMO is running a two-part webinar series designed to help PMO professionals build confidence in using Generative AI tools. We’ll cut through the jargon\, explore the essentials\, and show you how to avoid the common mistakes people make when getting started with tools like ChatGPT\, Gemini and Co-Pilot. \nNow that you’ve got the foundations (see the first session here)\, it’s time to level up. This intermediate session dives deeper into the world of Generative AI\, showing you how to move beyond “basic prompting” into advanced reasoning\, research\, and collaboration techniques. \nWhat You’ll Learn \n\nInside the AI Mind: How reasoning models “think\,” plan\, and refine – plus how to design prompts that unlock deeper\, more structured responses.\nDoing Serious Research with AI: How to get detailed\, credible outputs from large datasets – while knowing when and how to double-check sources.\nPrompting Like a Pro: Zero-shot\, few-shot\, and many-shot prompting\, step-by-step reasoning\, contrastive examples\, and structured outputs.\nNext-Level Tools & Features: Experiment with custom styles\, shared workspaces\, Canvas Mode for content creation\, and NotebookLM for integrating sources into mind maps or audio/visual summaries.\nFrameworks that Stick: Revisit C.R.E.A.T.E. and the 555 Rule – this time with more sophisticated applications to sharpen your 5 Cs of Prompting Skills.\n\nBy the end\, you’ll be comfortable using AI not just as a clever assistant\, but as a serious partner in thinking\, planning and delivery. \nBecause here’s the truth:AI won’t replace humans — but humans using AI will outpace those who don’t. \n  \nMeet the expert\nWe’ve teamed up with Mike Weston-Burt (ex-KPMG) to deliver these sessions.
