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 URL:https://houseofpmo.com/event/pmi-pmo-uncon/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://houseofpmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PMO_unCON_Icon.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20251009T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20251009T200000 DTSTAMP:20260403T191317 CREATED:20250826T113825Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251003T093150Z UID:990000456-1760032800-1760040000@houseofpmo.com 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!

This conference explores how project professionals can reframe what’s possible in capital-intensive\, complex\, and megaproject delivery and help break the so-called “Iron Law of Megaprojects” – projects that run over budget\, over time\, and under deliver\, again and again. \nHosted by P3GQA\, this multi-day event brings together global experts and practitioners to share frameworks\, insights\, and real-world cases on how to deliver better outcomes in megaprojects. \nKeynote Day – 8 December\nThe centrepiece of the conference\, Keynote Day brings together some of the most influential figures shaping the future of megaproject delivery. \n\nProfessor Bent Flyvbjerg – the originator of the “Iron Law of Megaprojects” and the most cited scholar in the field. He will share the latest research and practical heuristics for breaking the cycle of failure in capital-intensive projects.\nBecky Wood – newly appointed CEO of the UK’s National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA). She brings deep experience from major government projects and will speak about the future of national infrastructure delivery and the role of collaboration.\nAntonio Nieto-Rodríguez – leading voice on the Project Economy\, HBR author\, and former PMI Chair. He will share insights on how organisations can thrive in the transformation age by prioritising and leading strategic initiatives.\n\n\nAlongside these headline speakers\, the day features contributions from senior figures across industry and academia\, including PMI Fellows\, authors\, and advisers who have defined many of the standards and practices used in project management today. \nFor PMOs\, this is an opportunity to: \n\nUnderstand the systemic challenges that lead to overruns and under-delivery in megaprojects.\nLearn from both research and real-world examples of governance\, sponsorship\, and benefits management done well.\nHear from thought leaders who are shaping the future of project delivery at national and global scale.\n\n  \nHouse of PMO’s Eileen Roden provides the closing keynote session of the day with ePMO Services for Capital Portfolios.

Over that time\, he’s seen that project success depends less on following the perfect process and more on how people behave when things get difficult. \nIn this session\, Scott will explore three key behaviours from the PMO Competency Framework: \n\nBuilding trust and credibility by being open and honest.\nStaying resilient and positive when challenges arise.\nBringing passion and compassion to the work\, while keeping a growth mindset.\n\nThese behaviours are often called ‘soft skills’\, but in practice they’re what keep projects moving and teams working well together. \nBy the end of the session\, attendees will leave with practical advice and useful strategies they can apply straight away to improve project delivery\, while also protecting the well-being of the people doing the work. \n  URL:https://houseofpmo.com/event/why-behaviours-matter-more-than-processes-in-pmos/ CATEGORIES:Free,Listen and Learn ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://houseofpmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/PMO-Behaviours-HoPMO.png LOCATION:https://houseofpmo.com/event/why-behaviours-matter-more-than-processes-in-pmos/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20251219T121500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20251219T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T191317 CREATED:20250902T133943Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251209T154007Z UID:990000459-1766146500-1766149200@houseofpmo.com SUMMARY:PMO HotHouse Season 3 – December 2025 DESCRIPTION:Final PMO HotHouse of the Year! \nHotHouse brings together Lindsay Scott\, Eileen Roden and John McIntyre each month for 45 minutes to give you your shot of PMO inspiration. \nWe have different features each month – kicking off with the latest news and research in PMO.

Expect more pressure to simplify governance\, cut the “reporting for reporting’s sake” stuff\, and use data (and increasingly AI-supported analysis) to spot trends\, exceptions\, and delivery pinch-points earlier. At the same time\, the people side won’t let up: capability building\, influencing skills\, and change leadership will matter just as much as tooling\, because PMOs will keep getting asked to act like a business function – not a back-office service. \nIn this session\, we’ll share the top ten from the House of PMO and provide some of the practical ways we can deal with them.

It’s candid\, honest\, and collaborative. \nThis year\, we’re coming to Glasgow. And the theme?\nSpecialist Roles in the PMO – because we know the four core roles (Administrator\, Analyst\, Manager\, Director) don’t tell the whole story. \nFrom Benefits Leads to Planning Specialists\, Agile PMO roles to Risk SMEs – we want to explore how these specialist roles are evolving\, where the demand is coming from\, and what that means for PMO structures\, services\, and careers. \nWhy This Theme?\nWe’re building on the PMO Competency Framework\, which currently outlines the four core PMO roles. But in practice\, we’re seeing far more nuanced and specialist roles – sometimes as permanent functions\, sometimes as secondments\, sometimes emerging out of necessity. \nThis roundtable will help shape future updates to the framework – and will feed directly into the next Inside PMO Report. \nWho Should Apply?\nWe’re opening six spaces for PMO Managers to apply. You’ll be a good fit if: \n\nYou manage or lead a PMO (any sector\, any size)\nYou’ve introduced\, managed\, or worked alongside specialist roles in your PMO\nYou’ve got stories\, experience\, or views worth sharing – and you’re happy to contribute\nYou’re curious about how others are approaching specialist roles\n\nThis is not a spectator event.

But what if this pursuit of certainty is actually holding us back? \nIn this thought-provoking session\, Michael Campbell explores what “truth” really means in a modern PMO. He challenges the idea that the goal is perfect data hygiene or one definitive version of the facts. Instead\, he argues that the PMO’s real value lies in sense-making – validating\, triangulating and continuously interpreting data to enable better business decisions. \nDrawing on lessons from PMO Flashmob’s Inside PMO report\, Michael will show how the future-ready PMO isn’t just data-literate – it’s curious. It constantly tests assumptions\, questions patterns\, and balances evidence with experience. The session will unpack how to build a PMO culture that goes beyond reporting to create genuine insight – helping organisations move from chasing truth to creating clarity and confidence. \nExpect lively discussion\, practical techniques\, and a few myths lovingly dismantled URL:https://houseofpmo.com/event/beyond-the-single-source-of-the-truth-how-pmos-validate-challenge-and-make-data-useful/ LOCATION:Telefonica Tech UK\, 3rd Floor\, The Garment Factory\, 10 Montrose Street\, Glasgow\, G1 1RE CATEGORIES:In-Person ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://houseofpmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Single-Source-TRuth.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260126T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260128T163000 DTSTAMP:20260403T191317 CREATED:20251002T132554Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260112T104350Z UID:990000530-1769418000-1769617800@houseofpmo.com SUMMARY:P3O® Foundation DESCRIPTION:P3O® Foundation (Portfolio\, Programme and Project Offices) \nThe P3O® Foundation course introduces the principles\, structures and roles behind effective portfolio\, programme and project offices.

This launch event marks the release of the completed report\, pulling together the most repeated challenge themes and the practical “what works / what doesn’t” insights from the discussions. \nJoin us for a fast-paced walkthrough of the headline findings – including the big recurring pain points like executive sponsorship\, becoming a true strategic partner (not “admin”)\, capability gaps\, prioritisation overload\, and change fatigue and crucially what PMOs can do next with limited time and stretched capacity. \nYou’ll leave with: \n\nA clear\, shared picture of the challenges PMOs are facing across the blue light sector (so you can sanity-check your own reality)\nPractical actions you can try immediately (without waiting for a perfect re-org)\nLanguage you can reuse with senior leaders to get traction and sponsorship\n\nThis is for PMO professionals currently working within the emergency services sector – although many other PMO people working in other sectors will certainly take a lot from this session and the report. Please feel free to join us\, regardless of where you’re working. \nSave your place now and get the report link first (plus the one-page senior leader briefing you can forward internally!) \nIf you work in a PMO supporting emergency services\, bring one colleague too – you’ll get more momentum when two of you hear the same messages at the same time.

We’ll learn more about what monitoring is and the actual role you’ll carry out – predominantly as a PMO Administrator and/or PMO Analyst. We’ll get into the practical and share some real life examples. \n  URL:https://houseofpmo.com/event/pmo-skills-monitoring/ CATEGORIES:Listen and Learn ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://houseofpmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/PMO-Skills-Monitor.jpeg LOCATION:https://houseofpmo.com/event/pmo-skills-monitoring/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260218T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260218T220000 DTSTAMP:20260403T191318 CREATED:20260206T122843Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260206T122843Z UID:990000556-1771437600-1771452000@houseofpmo.com SUMMARY:London / PMO Flashmob DESCRIPTION:PMO Flashmob is heading back to London for an informal meetup on 18th February at the brilliant Cittie of Yorke\, Holborn.
