Webinar - Creating a Strategic PMO is a Zoo!


PMO Best Practice - Creating a Strategic PMO is a Zoo!

Live webinar with guest expert Dawn Mahan & host Stuart Easton

16 October 2024 @ 08:00 PDT / 11:00 EDT / 16:00 BST


Think of your business as a zoo, with the strategic PMO being the elusive creature you're trying to tame—a unicorn or a giraffe in a fancy hat. Building or improving one can feel like teaching a sloth to run a concession stand, but with the right strategy, team training, and process tweaks, you'll have a well-run zoo where even the finicky flamingos are happy.

We often talk about processes and tools. But what about the people? After all, who gets  projects done? The people. Who can make or break your PMO? The people. And yet, we don’t talk about the people side enough.

In this session, Dawn Mahan, Author of the new bestselling book, Meet the Players in Projectland: Decide the Right Project Roles & Get People On Board, challenges us to think not only about the executive team, the PMO leaders, and the project managers…but also about all of the other roles in the organization and how they can make or break your PMO.

Join Dawn, and host Stuart Easton, for a lively conversation diving deep into the people side of creating your winning PMO, including the animal avatars and metaphors that can help us think differently about the leadership team, project sponsor and stakeholders…especially the difficult ones. Get pro tips for how to tame the beasts and how to marshal talent in your version of “Projectland”, so that you can help your organization create a healthy culture that delivers massive results.

If you can't make it to the live webinar, that's no problem - we'll send a recording of the session to everyone who registers.
