Four Key PMO Challenge Areas - One Big Training Day
PMOLearn! take places on the 11th June 2025.
Each PMOLearn! features four key theme areas.
Each learning session features the theory and practical application approaches followed by classroom exercises.
It’s just like being in the largest PMO classroom training you’ve ever had.

Systems Thinking and the PMO
Systems thinking ensures that projects, programs, and portfolios are seen as interconnected components within a larger organizational ecosystem. This perspective is especially important for information management and reporting, as it helps identify patterns, dependencies, and feedback loops, providing meaningful insights rather than isolated data points. This approach enhances the ability to track performance, manage resources effectively, and align with strategic objectives. By considering the broader system, PMO professionals can also improve information flow, reduce silos, and support more consistent, informed decision-making.

Using the Cynefin Model – Determining the Most Effective Approach to Establishing and Transforming your PMO
We all know that ‘one size fits nobody’. What works for one organization’s PMO or PMO services doesn’t always work for another, often due the difference in structure, culture and maturity. Using the Cynefin framework enables PMO professionals to tailor their approach, aligning implementation with an organization’s complexities of each organization.

Benefits Management – Building Benefits Profiles from your Benefits Map to drive Benefits Realization
Knowing how to build effective benefits profiles is crucial for PMO professionals as it directly supports the tracking and realization of benefits. While identifying benefits for a business case can be challenging, even well-articulated benefits often prove difficult to track during the realization phase. A well-structured benefits profile serves as a central repository for critical details such as benefit descriptions, success criteria, measurement methods, ownership, and associated risks, providing a clear framework on how they will be planned, measured, and delivered effectively and efficiently.

Developing Your Service Catalogue
The benefits of service-driven PMOs are becoming increasingly recognized. Understanding the difference between a service catalogue and a PMO operations manual is key to ensuring the service catalogue clearly and consistently defines each service with the end user in mind. This clarity helps articulate the PMO’s offerings effectively, ensuring that stakeholders understand what services are available and the rules of engagement when interacting with the PMO.
