Reimagining the PMO for an Uncertain World
We’re no longer just dealing with change — we’re living in a world that’s increasingly Dynamic, Ambiguous, Nonlinear, Complex, Emergent, and accelerating change exponentially in multiple spheres.
The question is simple:
Is your PMO designed to lead and thrive in this environment, or is it stuck in the past?
Too many PMOs are bogged down in mediocrity — reporting, reacting, firefighting — and have become bottlenecks instead of enablers. They slow down instead of accelerating innovation. That won’t cut it anymore. We need to reimagine, rethink, and redesign. PMOs that thrive today act differently: they drive strategy, accelerate decisions, and deliver real impact.
In this keynote, Jack Duggal calls it like it is. He’ll challenge you to:
- Identify what era your PMO is in — and what needs to change to stay relevant and lead in a DANCE world.
- Reimagine the Next-Generation PMO for your organisation.
- Cut through the noise and redesign your PMO to withstand turbulence and focus on what actually drives results.
You’ll walk away inspired with new perspectives, distinguishing insights, and next steps to make your PMO matter. No fluff. No wishful thinking. Just what you need to drive and lead your PMO into its next era — and stay ahead.

Embedding PMO Competences at Gallagher: A Practical Implementation
Gallagher’s Enterprise PMO has embraced the House of PMO Competency Framework to create a more aligned, skilled, and forward-looking team.
By integrating everyday PMO tasks with the framework, and tailoring the Development Plan to reflect their strategic priorities, they have built a robust approach to professional development.
This session shares how they have linked competences to real roles, conducted a Training Needs Analysis, and embedded behaviours and skills that drive performance.
Join the session to learn practical steps, lessons learned, and what’s next on their learning and development journey.
PMOs and Hybrid Delivery: Making Agile & Waterfall Work Together
While the PM industry discusses Hybrid value extensively, the “How” to mix methodologies remains elusive. We risk declaring “Hybrid works!” without understanding what it means for each project or how it should be supported from a PMO perspective.
This session moves beyond theory through real-life examples from diverse project environments, including how PMOs can support or enable hybrid delivery models. We’ll explore when methodologies clash and when they complement, and what that means for governance, assurance, and resource planning in a hybrid context.
Participants will discover proven frameworks for effective methodology mixing – practical tools with clear guidance for immediate application. Understanding key distinctions between “philosophy,” “framework,” and “methodology,” attendees will learn to craft hybrid approaches tailored to their specific project contexts, while also understanding the PMO’s role in embedding and sustaining those practices.
