"The End of the PMO"
presented by Eric Norman, Norman & Norman Consulting, LLC / Managing Partner
The Governance Forum provides value to the PMI Atlanta community by offering participants:
Discussion of field-tested best practices, Decisions frameworks to assess culture and apply optimal strategy, Key takeaways to “take to work tomorrow” to maximize realization of value through introduction and standardization of best practices in the oversight and execution of projects, programs, and portfolios.
Presentation
As organizations emerge from mandated and self-imposed limits to business functions that were driven by the current pandemic, they are demanding new ways of working that instantly render many former practices both ineffective and obsolete.
Old PMO constructs and practice are no longer sufficient. We must re-imagine the PMO to support organizations as they get back to the business of business. This session is designed to help you transform your PMO to provide vital business functionality right now... and far into the future. This is an important inflection point... and there is no time to waste.
If business leaders are making decisions about key initiatives in your organization without consulting the PMO, either the decisions they are making are related to initiatives outside the purview of the PMO, or the PMO isn’t providing business leaders the information they need to make important decisions about the initiatives being supported by the PMO. If either of these conditions is true, the PMO is not performing the vital organizational role it was designed to provide and is more likely than not headed for extinction.
This discussion provides insight to help you transform your PMO from an organizational function that provides operational and administrative overhead to a vital governance resource that delivers critically important information for decision-making.
Learning Objectives:
- Examine current structures to reveal how the PMO often becomes relegated to administrative functions, devaluing its role.
- Highlight FOUR key value enablers designed to provide decision-makers the Information they need about key business initiatives.
- Transform existing PMO functions to engage with leaders as a vital source for accurate, timely business intelligence and decision-support information.
