SUMMARY:Manchester PMO Flashmob / Rethinking Resource Management: A PMO-Led Approach
DESCRIPTION:Making Resource Management Work – A PMO Perspective\nResource management continues to be one of the trickiest areas for PMOs to get right. Whether it’s capacity planning\, getting the right people onto the right work\, or having the data to back up tough conversations with stakeholders – it often feels like going round in circles. \nThis in-person session in Manchester brings PMO professionals together to explore the refreshed Circle of Resource Management model – updated in 2025 following new insights from across sectors – and get practical about how the PMO can help make real progress\, even in complex environments. \nWhat We’ll Cover\nWe’ll take a look at the latest thinking behind the Circle of Resource Management from House of PMO and discuss findings from a brand new report into how organisations are tackling resource management in the real world. Together\, we’ll explore: \n\nThe portfolio\, project\, and resource sides of the resource management puzzle\nHow to use the model in your own organisation to prompt the right conversations\nWhat context\, capability and culture mean for your ability to make things stick\nHow the PMO can move from firefighting to genuinely enabling performance\nStories\, tips and lessons from other PMO professionals who’ve been there\n\nWhether you’re dealing with prioritisation problems\, developing capability frameworks\, or stuck in a tools-vs-process standoff\, this is a great chance to connect with others who get it – and go away with ideas you can use. \n📝 All attendees will receive a copy of the latest Inside PMO Report to take away. \nBook Your Spot\nReserve your place today – space is limited! \nJoin fellow PMO professionals for this practical and energising session. It’s time to break the cycle and get resource management working for your organisation. \nThis session is free for House of PMO members / non-members £10

SUMMARY:New Habits - PMO Journalling
DESCRIPTION:At PMOLearn! in Edinburgh\, Eileen ran a classroom session based on developing the skill of ‘reflection’. 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

SUMMARY:PMO Networking Skills
DESCRIPTION:With the PMO Conference coming up in Edinburgh this November and the increase in the number of PMO Flashmob events we’re running\, it got us thinking about PMO people coming together and how much we learn from each other when we make connections. \nMany of us might not like the idea of networking\, even the mere mention of the word can bring some of us out in hives! But we want to do something about that\, perhaps change the perception of it\, at the very least bring together some different insights and hopefully provide a few hints and tips. \nIn this session\, we will focus on three aspects of networking – focusing more on the first two you see here: \n\nInternal Networking – How to build influence and trust within your organisation\, from delivery teams to senior leadership.\nFace-to-Face Networking – How to confidently connect at events\, workshops\, and in everyday workplace interactions.\nOnline Networking – How to make LinkedIn and other digital platforms work for your PMO career without the awkwardness.\n\n  \nTailored specifically for PMO people\, whether you’re new to networking or looking to sharpen your approach\, you’ll leave with ideas you can start using straight away (and hopefully we’ll see you at one of our events soon too!) \nThis session is free for House of PMO members – just £10 for non-members.

SUMMARY:Making Resource Management Work / Insight PMO Report
DESCRIPTION:Making Resource Management Work – The Latest Insight PMO Report\nResource management continues to be one of the trickiest areas for PMOs to get right. Whether it’s capacity planning\, getting the right people onto the right work\, or having the data to back up tough conversations with stakeholders – it often feels like going round in circles. \nIn this session we explore the refreshed Circle of Resource Management model – updated in 2025 following new insights from across sectors – and get practical about how the PMO can help make real progress\, even in complex environments. \nWhat We’ll Cover\nWe’ll take a look at the latest thinking behind the Circle of Resource Management from House of PMO and discuss findings from a brand new report into how organisations are tackling resource management in the real world. Together\, we’ll explore: \n\nThe portfolio\, project\, and resource sides of the resource management puzzle\nHow to use the model in your own organisation to prompt the right conversations\nWhat context\, capability and culture mean for your ability to make things stick\nHow the PMO can move from firefighting to genuinely enabling performance\nStories\, tips and lessons from other PMO professionals who’ve been there\n\n  \nThis session focuses on two of the competences in the PMO Competency Framework – Delivery Support: Resource Management and P3M Enabling: Capability Development and Capacity Management. \nSuitable for any level of PMO professional who is interested in improving resource management in their organisations. \n[Eileen presented a shorter version of this session at the PMO Conference in June 2025.] \n  \n

SUMMARY:Elevating PMO Outcomes & Value with What You Have / Edinburgh PMO Flashmob
DESCRIPTION:How can today’s PMOs deliver more value without more budget or tools? This session explores how to elevate PMO performance by making the most of the digital tools already at your fingertips – like Office 365\, Google Workspace\, and low-cost enhancements. \nThrough real-world case studies and live examples\, PMO consultants from AtkinsRéalis will demonstrate how PMOs are solving everyday challenges – like reporting\, collaboration\, and data management – using tools many already have access to. 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.

SUMMARY:The Crown & Anchor Principle – PMO Flashmob / London
DESCRIPTION:This month\, PMO Flashmob heads to the iconic Crown and Anchor pub near Euston – and we’re taking inspiration from the name. \nOur theme\, “The Crown & Anchor Principle”\, explores the duality of PMOs in organisations: \n\nThe Crown represents the things PMOs are celebrated for – strategic alignment\, delivery assurance\, consistency\, clarity\, control. The big wins. The gold stars (or should that be jewels??)\nThe Anchor represents the elements that often weigh PMOs down – resistance to change\, bureaucracy perceptions\, “process for the sake of process\,” or simply being misunderstood.\n\nIn true PMO Flashmob fashion\, we’ll be unpacking both sides of the story: \n\nWhat earns PMOs their seat at the table?\nAnd what quietly undermines their influence?\n\n\nFeaturing: The Crown & Anchor (PMO) Dice Game\nTo keep things lively\, we’ll be playing a reimagined version of the classic Crown & Anchor dice game – with a PMO twist. \nDid you know that “Crown and Anchor” is a traditional British naval game dating back to the 18th century. It was wildly popular with sailors in the Royal Navy – particularly because it’s simple\, fast\, and gloriously unfair – in other words\, perfect for our social meetup! \n\nWhat to Expect:\n\nA relaxed\, social evening with fellow PMO and project professionals.\nA chance to explore the realities of PMO life through shared stories\, conversations and insights.\nA light-hearted dice activity – using a set of custom PMO-themed outcomes to spark conversation about the crown and anchors of PMO life.\n\n  \nCome Along:\nPMO Flashmobs are open to anyone who enjoys getting together with other PMO people – people from all types of industries and levels of experience attend and you will be made to feel welcomed! \nBook your place today!

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:AI PMO / Effective Use of AI Tools – 102 Intermediate
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. With 40 years in professional services\, Mike has trained over 50\,000 people across 5 continents and now runs his own AI training consultancy. He is at the forefront of helping organisations large and small make the most of the exciting opportunities GenAI offers. You’ll also be able to catch Mike at PMO Learn! in Edinburgh this November. \nRegister Today\n\nDate: Monday 20th October\nDuration: 60 minutes and additional 30 minutes live demos and Q&A\nFree to attend for members / £5 to charity for non-members [see more]\n\nWant to sign up for the first – introductory level – session which takes place on the 15th October?
