SUMMARY:Inside PMO Report / Specialist Roles in the PMO
DESCRIPTION:Following the official launch of the Inside PMO Report 2026 at the PMO Conference\, join House of PMO for this virtual session exploring the key findings from this year’s report: Specialist Roles in the PMO – Career Paths\, Capability and the Future Shape of PMO. \nAs organisations ask more of their PMOs – better data\, stronger governance\, clearer insight and more joined-up ways of working – specialist capability is becoming more visible. But what does that mean for PMO professionals\, PMO leaders and the future shape of PMO teams? \nIn this session\, we’ll share the highlights from the report and the presentation first delivered at the PMO Conference. We’ll look at why generalist PMO roles still provide an important foundation\, when specialist roles begin to emerge\, and how areas such as data\, governance\, assurance\, benefits\, resource management and PMO systems are evolving. \nWe’ll also explore the idea of the T-shaped PMO professional – balancing broad PMO understanding with deeper expertise – and consider why the future PMO may be defined less by job titles and more by the capabilities it develops and the value it enables. \nJoin us on Tuesday 30th June at 12.30pm BST for a practical look at the report findings and what they mean for the future of PMO. \n

SUMMARY:Introduction to the new Resource Management Course
DESCRIPTION:This webinar introduces the Resource Management course developed for PMO Learning\, grounded in the House of PMO Resource Management Report (2025). It covers the Circle of Resource Management across Project\, Resource and Portfolio lenses\, and uses the five-stage Maturity Model to help you diagnose where your organisation actually is and what realistic next steps look like at your level. \nResource Management for PMOs: From Gut Feel to Better Decisions\nYou know the situation. \nSomeone asks\, “Who is available?” and nobody is quite sure. A project needs people\, but the same names keep appearing. Capacity looks fine on paper\, until delivery starts creaking. Decisions get made on gut feel\, the PMO gets blamed for gaps it could see coming but could not stop\, and the same conversations come round again next quarter. \nResource management is one of those areas that everyone agrees is important\, but very few organisations feel they have properly cracked. It sits across projects\, portfolios\, line management\, finance\, governance and workforce planning – which means it is rarely solved by one spreadsheet\, one tool\, or one PMO person trying to make sense of it all on a Friday afternoon. \nThis webinar introduces the Resource Management course developed for PMO Learning\, grounded in the House of PMO Resource Management Report 2025. \nWe will explore the Circle of Resource Management\, looking at the topic through three connected lenses: \n\nProject – understanding the resource needs of individual projects and delivery teams.\nResource – understanding availability\, capability\, allocation and constraints.\nPortfolio – understanding demand\, priorities\, trade-offs and the bigger organisational picture.\n\n \nWe will also introduce the five-stage Resource Management Maturity Model\, helping you diagnose where your organisation actually is today – not where the leadership says it is\, or where everyone wishes it was. From there\, we will look at what realistic next steps might look like depending on your current level of maturity. \nThis session is not about pretending resource management is easy. It is about making it more visible\, more structured and more useful for decision-making. \nWhat we’ll cover\nIn this webinar\, we’ll look at: \n\nWhy resource management remains such a persistent challenge for PMOs\nThe different perspectives of project\, resource and portfolio management\nHow the Circle of Resource Management helps connect demand\, supply and decision-making\nHow to use the maturity model to understand your organisation’s current position\nWhat “good” might look like at different levels of maturity\nPractical next steps for PMOs that want to move beyond chasing updates and maintaining spreadsheets\n\nWho should attend?\nThis session is ideal for PMO professionals working in or around resource management\, portfolio management\, delivery planning\, governance\, reporting or strategic prioritisation. \nIt will be especially useful if your PMO is trying to improve visibility of resource demand\, support better prioritisation conversations\, or move away from resource decisions based mainly on confidence\, optimism and crossed fingers. \nWhy join?\nYou’ll leave with a clearer understanding of the resource management challenges many PMOs face\, a practical model for thinking about maturity\, and ideas for how your PMO can start improving the conversation in a way that fits your organisation’s reality. \nBecause let’s be honest – “we’ll just find someone” is not a resource strategy.

SUMMARY:PMO Flashmob London \ Mid-Year Check-In
DESCRIPTION:We’re halfway through 2026\, and the big question is… are the PMO trends we talked about actually coming true? \nBack in January\, House of PMO explored the key trends shaping PMOs – from Stage 0 and smarter prioritisation to AI\, simplification\, and proving value. But what’s really happening? \nAt this meetup\, we’ll take a step back and sense-check: \n\nWhich trends are genuinely gaining traction?\nWhat’s still more talk than reality?\nWhere are PMOs struggling to make the shift?\nAnd most importantly… what should we be doing differently in the second half of the year?\n\nThis will be a relaxed\, discussion-led session: conversation\, shared experiences\, and a chance to compare notes with others facing the same challenges. \nWhether things are going exactly to plan or not quite as expected\, this is a good moment to pause\, reflect\, and recalibrate. \nJoin us for insights\, good conversation\, and a practical mid-year reset. \nPlus we’re on a boat on the Thames\, what’s not to like??

SUMMARY:Setting You and Your PMO Up for Success: From Chasing Updates to Shaping Decisions
DESCRIPTION:On International PMO Day we did a couple of sessions for corporate members as part of their celebrations – so we thought\, why not share it with the wider community! Here’s what we’ll cover: \nA successful PMO year doesn’t come from doing more of the same. It comes from changing the focus: less chasing\, more shaping; less reporting\, more decision support; less process policing\, more trusted partnership. \nIn this virtual session\, Eileen Roden and Lindsay Scott explore practical ways for PMOs and PMO professionals to become more valued\, confident and future-fit. We’ll look at how PMOs can create better insight\, support stronger decisions\, improve risk conversations\, show real value and build more effective relationships with delivery teams and leaders. \nThe session also focuses on the PMO professional: developing data confidence\, relationship building\, influencing skills\, value focus and an enterprise mindset. Expect practical tips\, small shifts in habits and useful ideas you can take back into your own PMO straight away. \nSecure your place and start shaping a more confident\, valued and future-fit PMO.

SUMMARY:The IMPACT Engine: Helping PMOs Become Seen\, Trusted and Valued
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Laura Barnard\, author of The IMPACT Engine\, as we explore how the ideas\, principles and practical approaches from the book are helping PMO professionals and organisations rethink the role of the PMO. \nWe’ll talk about what led Laura to develop the IMPACT Engine System\, what she’s learned from working with PMO leaders and teams around the world\, and why the shift from outputs and activity to outcomes and impact is proving so important. \nWe’ll also explore what this means in practice – how PMOs can build trust\, strengthen their influence\, and become more closely connected to the strategic priorities of the organisation. \nLaura will be joining us ahead of her visit to the UK\, where she’ll be speaking at the PMO Conference in London before running the face-to-face IMPACT Engine Fundamentals course on 19 June – which went down a storm last year\, by the way! \nWe’ll touch on how the Fundamentals and Practitioner courses fit alongside Laura’s more in-depth certification and coaching programme\, and why these different learning routes have been created for PMO professionals at different stages of the journey. \nThere will also be the opportunity to put your questions to Laura during the session. \nIf you want your PMO to be seen\, trusted and valued for the impact it creates\, join us on 2 June at 5pm BST. \n> Explore the IMPACT Engine Fundamentals one-day course taking place on the 19th June

SUMMARY:Project Forum - The UK Project Management Industry Free Event
DESCRIPTION:For many years\, Project Challenge was a staple in the UK project management calendar\, offering a free day of learning\, seminars\, exhibitions and networking. It played an important role in helping practitioners discover new tools\, services and approaches and it was also where the House of PMO\, then PMO Flashmob\, regularly exhibited and grew connections within the wider PMO community. \nSince Project Challenge closed in recent years\, there has been a noticeable gap in the calendar for a free\, accessible event serving the whole UK project management profession. \nFollowing conversations with several House of PMO Conference sponsors\, the demand for a new industry-wide event became clear. With their support\, we’re delighted to announce the launch of a brand-new addition to the project management calendar. \nProject Forum will take place on 21st April 2026 in London\, offering a full programme of seminars\, birds-of-a-feather sessions\, an exhibition space\, and opportunities to connect with peers from across the profession. The event is free to attend and open to the entire UK project management community. \nThe House of PMO will be there in the exhibition area – you can find out more about the seminar and roundtable discussions we’re also running.

SUMMARY:From Summit to Action: Blue Light PMO Report Launch
DESCRIPTION:The Blue Light PMO Summit brought together PMO professionals across policing\, fire & rescue\, ambulance\, and the NHS to share what’s really happening on the ground – the pressure\, the realities\, and the workarounds that actually help. 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.

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: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:Measuring Success: AWE’s e-PMO Journey and the Power of Metrics
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a real-life case study session where Louise Povey from AWE shares insights into their ePMO transformation. 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

SUMMARY:PMO Career Hour - Moving Between Industries
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 exploring how PMO experience\, knowledge and skills can be transferred between different industries\, and what practitioners need to consider when making a move to a different sector.
