Workshop: Make your PMO a Great PMO (and keep it Great) with Peter Taylor

In the evening, we also offer a interesting presentation with Peter Taylor on

The Funny Lazy Project Manager

Details on the workshop can be found on the event page.

Description

As a PMO leader, five “greenfield” PMOs developed in the last 15 years; Peter Taylor knows first-hand that this can be a very rewarding experience, but equally not an easy one to find the right line to balance the projects and the business demands.

This workshop is about building, leading and sustaining your PMO.

Based on the research for the two books written by Peter Taylor, “Leading Successful PMOs” and ‘”Delivering Successful PMOs”, the workshop will identify the key failings of many PMOs and PMO leaders, guide attendees through the “Balanced PMO” design developed by Peter, and will offer practical advice on making sure your PMO keeps relevant to your business with the “Sustain Your PMO: Nine Easy Lessons”, as well as presenting a new working model for project management.

The workshop will be an interactive experience with personal case study insights and the opportunity to spend some time with one of the world’s most experienced PMO leaders.

Benefits

The workshop is directed at anyone sponsoring, leading or indeed working in a PMO – whether a ‘greenfield’ PMO start up or a ‘maturing’ PMO.

You will learn more about the sorts of PMO that can be adopted and the styles of operation and management.

At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Understand the meaning and purpose of a successful PMO
• Take the ‘PMO pulse’ of their PMO and identify areas for improvement
• Design a PMO that their organisation really needs
