The Inside PMO Report on PMO Leadership was released during 2022 and at the project management expo show in London we shared the insights to an audience of project management practitioners.
We also had an exhibition stand and asked visitors to the stand to think about their own experiences of leaders - both good and bad.
You can take a look at the presentation we did - and see what others thought about leaders too.

PMO Problem Solved - “I have a problem as a PMO lead, the PMO analyst role is very admin heavy and we are having high staff turnover. The main issue is collating packs, taking minutes and chasing actions across all the forums. We are not allowed to recruit more staff and cannot push back on any of the admin. Can you suggest any way we can reduce the load or make it quicker?”

At this lunch, the subject was ‘PMO Leadership’
We wanted to understand about PMO leadership experiences, leading people, the PMO and leading in the organisation.
There is a real lack of insights when it comes to leadership in PMOs. What makes a good PMO leader? How do you become a great leader of the PMO? Is it different to leading any other type of business function? These were just some of the questions we wanted to find answers to for this Inside PMO Report.
We also wanted to understand if leadership skills and the different qualities and behaviours are just limited to PMO Managers and Directors - those that traditionally lead a PMO. What about the people who work in the PMO? What about the PMO itself?
In the latest report, we take a look at leadership from different PMO angles and bring some new insights for the PMO community.
