About the PMO Mini-Masterclass - PMO Leadership
Mention to Senior Management that you would like a meeting to update them on your PMO and most would sooner chew their own arms off rather than attend. This session will show how to tune into their wavelength and help achieve a better profile for your projects, programmes, portfolios and PMOs. The presentation is based on recent Complexity research at Cranfield University and will be fast paced and fun.
Takeaways:
Ideas on how to make Senior Execs understand the role of PMOs
Techniques to get your message across better
Latest research on PPM complexity
The Video
With the term PMO recognised as covering all manner of activities this session will give you perspective from the BBC's corporate PMO.
Stuart will outline the role his team performs in supporting and challenging the BBC's critical projects and how the PMO's course has adjusted over time with experiences.
Developing capability has remained a cornerstone of their approach and with the BBC facing unprecedented levels of change, Stuart will share a view on the PMOs role in helping to project leaders to deliver change successfully.
Takeaways:
Opportunity to compare function and reflect priorities
Recognition of the journey in maturing a PMO function
Offer a view on the PMOs role with business change

Thanks for landing on the page! The research has now been completed!
At the last PMO Flashmob in June we produced a list of all the PMO service areas we could think of.
The idea was to visually demonstrate just how many service areas are currently associated with PMOs today. It sounded like a good basis for conversations with the group.
The service areas were taken from P3O, some of the work we previously carried out in relation to competencies and by looking at current PMO practitioners CVs.
We thought it might be interesting to see if there were hotspots - are there areas of commonality? This was interesting because we often hear that every PMO is different yet there are obviously core service areas that can be found in almost every PMO.
I've often thought that the more we hear that every PMO is different, the more PMO practitioners get short-changed because different inevitably means difficult. It means things like specific PMO training courses or a PMO competency framework which a wide range of PMO practitioners could benefit from never seem to get created. Different means we give up. But are we that different?
We had a small group in June yet with the service areas pinned up on the walls of the pub we could see quite quickly that there were areas of commonality.
So we thought why not get more PMO practitioners to fill it in and see what the results look like.
