Join us for a new PMO Book Club where this month we will be featuring the new book - Project, Programme and Portfolio Governance.
In our book clubs we explore different themes of the book and get into conversations and debates, digging deeper into the content and thinking about how the book affects our day-to-day work in PMO.
Like all our Book Club sessions, you don't need to have read the book to gain lots of great insights from this session.
Low maturity can mean a couple of different things - a PMO in a low maturity project management organisation or a PMO which has low maturity levels and its struggling to support the organisation well. We will look at both aspects and really try to drill down into what the challenges are. When we can fully understand what the problem is, together we can work on finding the best solutions.
The brilliant thing about a career in PMO is that there is opportunity, literally hundreds of different opportunities – and we’re not just talking about moving on and out to a Project or Programme Manager role.
We can choose to work in different types of PMOs, work at different levels of responsibility and authority, choose to become the go-to-person in a certain area. We can choose to lead innovation in our PMOs; or make things better for our senior executives or create a great team of PMO practitioners who are knocking it out of the park. Great things can happen in a PMO career.
To take advantage of opportunities it takes a combination of things – such as experience, skills, behaviours, attitude, luck and much more. Sometimes our organisation helps us to be in a position to take up opportunities, sometimes it comes from our own drive and determination. When you take ownership for your own career, that’s when doors start to open.
In this interactive session we’ll be covering different areas of “taking ownership” – what that really means, what does it look like, how you can take ownership.
We’ll also look closer at the “PMO career” and uncover lots of different avenues that should spark thoughts about your own career to date and where you want to be next.
Full of practical tips and insights plus a chance to hear how others are taking ownership of their PMO career – it’s a session you wouldn’t want to miss if you love what you do and want to do more of it.
