Dinner Meeting Presentation Abstract

Overview:

In today's project management world, a renewed interest and scrutiny of organizational Project/Program Management Offices (PMOs) has emerged. Most organizations continue to endure the PMO as cost-centers which fail to provide satisfactory justification of their long-term value. This has made the PMO a high visibility target of organizational cost-cutting measures, and has introduced new risks that threaten the PMO's core existence.

To better confront the challenges at hand requires a greater awareness and understanding of the gap between organizational expectations and PMO benefits. We must become visionary PMO champions armed with forward-thinking vigilance to mitigate these new risks and demonstrate business value.

Learning Objectives:

This session will offer a competitive advantage in understanding some of the most critical risks affecting PMOs today. The expected outcome is a greater awareness to predict and adapt to top PMO risks and threats before it is too late.
