Establishing a PMO from scratch can be an overwhelming proposition. RGA did it in nine months and they’re still humming along almost two years from their start date.
PMO sponsorship, structure and process are only part of the overall picture. It takes tools and techniques to enable people to deliver project and programs successfully. It takes a strong communication strategy to engage people in dynamic ways on an ongoing basis to seek out feedback from stakeholders in order to enhance the PMO value. It takes a change management strategy that enables people to adapt to the cultural shifts that result and embrace PMO operations.
This topic is for those individuals who lead, work in, and interact with their existing PMO or who are tasked with building/enhancing a PMO in their organization. Laurie will provide insight on how RGA defined, implemented and operationalized their Global IT Project Portfolio Management Office as well as how you can be a valuable contributor in your company’s PMO journey.
