When budgets tighten, most organizations react the same way: cut costs, freeze hiring, and hope for the best. But what if your PMO could do something far more powerful?

Join Stuart Easton (TransparentChoice) and guest Stuart Taylor (author & PMO practitioner) for a practical, no-nonsense discussion on how PMOs can move from being cost centers under pressure to strategic partners driving smarter decisions. 

Drawing on real-world experience, from navigating organizational immaturity to leading complex transformation environments this session explores how to:

• Identify which projects truly deliver value (and which don’t)
• Make meaningful cost savings without damaging outcomes
• Shift from reactive reporting to proactive portfolio leadership
• Reposition the PMO as the team that saves millions not just manages projects

Then, Stuart will take you inside TransparentChoice with a live demo showing how to:

• Turn strategy into a transparent prioritization model everyone buys into
• Kill low-value work without the politics
• Run real-time “what-if” scenarios to make smarter trade-offs
• Give execs the clarity they’ve been asking for

Expect an engaging, conversational format with live reactions, honest insights, and practical examples all grounded in the reality PMOs face today.

If you’re being asked to “do more with less,” this session will show you how to do something smarter instead.
