Explore how one organisation’s PMO evolved over 16 years, from support office to strategic partner and transformation leader, with practical PMO insights.
Discover how today’s PMOs are evolving into strategic value enablers. This session summary offers actionable insights, real-world examples, and practical tips to help your PMO build credibility, co-create services, and focus on what truly matters. Ideal for PMO professionals ready to rethink and refresh their approach.
It’s been ten years of change, challenge, and growth for PMOs—and this keynote captures that journey. With reflections from Eileen Roden, Laura Barnard, and Americo Pinto, we’ll explore how PMOs have evolved—and where they might be heading next. Not everything’s clear-cut, of course, but that’s the point. This session is about the real work of shaping the future, with all its uncertainty, promise, and, well... a few dreams thrown in too.
Explore Lewin’s Change Model, the Change Diamond, and Leavitt’s Diamond - three essential models that can help PMOs lead and embed change more effectively. Practical insights, not just theory.
