During our time at Project Challenge, we presented to a PMO audience on the topic of "Challenges and Trends in a PMO Career". I presented three challenges related to finding new opportunities and Eileen Roden presented three challenges whilst in post as a PMO professional. For the second part we did the same but this time focused on the trends we're seeing.
The presentation was well received - pitched at the right level for the audience - so it makes sense that we would want to share the presentation with you too.
Here's the presentation, available through Prezi. Below you can access the two video presentations.

Last week we had two days at Project Challenge, it was a first for us and we were delighted to have so many PMO people come and visit us. During the show we decided to give people a feel for what PMO Flashmob is like so we decided to have the PMO wall.
Essentially we had three topic areas going. One about PMO training, another on current challenges and the third one on trends. Visitors put up their thoughts, other people added new ones or just added comments to what was already there.There are some interesting insights and it certainly made our two days much more fun than a normal, dry exhibition!
Here Eileen, Ken and I give you the overview on what came out over the two days:
