From relaunching the function and establishing a clear mandate to defining key metrics and shaping the future\, this session will provide a real-world case study on how an ePMO can drive efficiency\, governance\, and strategic alignment. \nMetrics in a PMO can be difficult to get right—too many\, and you drown in data; the wrong ones\, and you drive the wrong behaviors. Getting them just right means focusing on what really matters\, aligning with strategy\, and keeping them relevant as things change. In this session\, Louise Povey will share how the AWE  PMO tackled this\, from picking the right metrics to making them work in practice. Expect real-world lessons\, challenges faced\, and insights you can take back to your own PMO. \nThe session will cover: \nKey Takeaways:\n✔ How AWE re-launched their e-PMO and set its direction✔ The importance of a well-defined PMO mandate✔ The role of metrics in tracking success and driving improvement✔ Challenges encountered and lessons learned✔ What’s next for AWE’s e-PMO URL:https://houseofpmo.com/event/measuring-success-awes-e-pmo-journey-and-the-power-of-metrics/ CATEGORIES:Listen and Learn,Member Exclusive ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://houseofpmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pmo-metrics.png LOCATION:https://houseofpmo.com/event/measuring-success-awes-e-pmo-journey-and-the-power-of-metrics/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250501T173000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250501T193000 DTSTAMP:20260404T223201 CREATED:20250317T104545Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250428T153845Z UID:990000420-1746120600-1746127800@houseofpmo.com SUMMARY:South Coast PMO Flashmob / The Value of the PMO DESCRIPTION:The value of a PMO has long been a hot topic of debate—how do we measure it\, communicate it\, and\, crucially\, prove it?

Given this complexity\, it makes sense for the PMO to adopt a strategic business tool to help ensure it remains effective\, adaptable\, and aligned with organisational goals. \nEnter the Canvas! \nThe Business Model Canvas (BMC) is a strategic tool used to help organisations visualise\, design\, and refine their business models. Developed by Alexander Osterwalder\, it provides a one-page framework that captures the key building blocks of a business in a clear and structured way [take a look at the canvas here] \nThere is also a Project Canvas offering structured ways for planning and delivering projects\, as outlined in the [Project Canvas] \nThe PMO Canvas takes this same concept and applies it to the PMO\, ensuring it has the right structure\, focus\, and services to support our organisation’s portfolios\, programmes and projects. \nIn this session\, you’ll learn how to build your own PMO Canvas and use it as a practical tool for defining\, improving\, or transforming your PMO. \nWhat you’ll gain from the session: \n\nA clear understanding of what makes a PMO effective\nA practical tool you can use to assess and design your PMO\nInsights into common PMO challenges and how to overcome them\nA roadmap for improving your PMO and increasing its impact\n\n  \nWhether you are setting up a new PMO\, evolving an existing one\, or looking to refine how your PMO operates\, this session will give you the clarity\, structure\, and practical steps you need. \nJoin us and map out the future of your PMO with confidence!

The session was centred around the idea that self-reflection is a critical yet often overlooked skill in PMO work. The session aimed to highlight the value of deliberate reflection for personal and professional development\, and introduced practical tools to support reflective practice. \nOne of those tools was journalling. \nIn PMO we often move from one task to the next without pausing to make sense of what we’ve learned along the way. This session is about changing that. We’re introducing PMO Journalling – a simple yet powerful reflective practice that helps you capture insights\, develop your thinking\, and make better decisions. Whether you’re managing risks\, supporting governance\, or working through complex stakeholder challenges\, journalling can help you slow down\, connect the dots\, and grow professionally. It’s not about writing perfectly – it’s about thinking clearly. And today\, we’ll explore practical ways to build a reflective journalling habit that works for you. \nJournalling is a favourite reflective practice of Eileen’s – so here she will share some of her hints and tips. \n  URL:https://houseofpmo.com/event/new-habits-pmo-journalling/ CATEGORIES:Listen and Learn ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://houseofpmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/PMO-Journalling.jpeg LOCATION:https://houseofpmo.com/event/new-habits-pmo-journalling/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250715T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250715T130000 DTSTAMP:20260404T223201 CREATED:20250609T133830Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250609T161137Z UID:990000437-1752580800-1752584400@houseofpmo.com SUMMARY:Present with Confidence – PMO Summer Series / Session One DESCRIPTION:Present with Confidence – The PMO Summer Series is a three-part virtual learning experience from House of PMO\, designed to help you build one of the most valuable PMO skills: confident\, impactful communication. \nEach session focuses on a key part of the presentation journey – from crafting compelling content\, to designing clear and professional slides\, to delivering with confidence and presence.

We’ll also explore what extra layers can be added to stretch capability further and take a practical look at how AI is starting to enhance PMO work in surprising (and achievable) ways. \nDesigned to be interactive\, the session includes speaker insights\, demonstrations\, and opportunities to engage with practical ideas you can take away and apply in your own PMO context – whether you’re in the early stages of digital maturity or further along the curve. \nWhether you’re a PMO professional\, student of project management\, or someone curious about the evolving role of technology in portfolio\, programme\, and project offices – this session will help you rethink what’s possible with the tools you already have. \nThis session will be held in-person at the University of Edinburgh. \nRegister your attendance to receive the joining instructions.
