The Program Office Boot Camp
40 PDUs
Your Key to PMO Success!
The Project/Program Office is the most significant organizational business concept devloped over the past 30 years. PMO's provide the support that leaders need to successfully execute strategic vision. Unfortunately, many PMO initiatives have failed. PMO implementations are high risk projects because they typically necessitate a culture change in the organization and culture changes come with a high risk of failure. If you are implementing a PMO, how do you quickly learn the critical success factors? Where do you go to gain experiences that are typically not acquired until you are working on an actual implementation.
The PMO Boot Camp was developed to provide professionals like you with practical and proven tools, techniques, and skills to rapidly implement and manage program offices. Developed and conducted by Bill Stewart, the pioneer of the PMO concept, this program will provide you with the skills, knowledge and confidence to rapidly implement your PMO or move to the next level of maturity. Bill will share his 20 years of PMO implementation experience while coaching you through development of your own PMO plan and schedule. Bring your entire PMO team and gain the consistency and committment necessary for success. You will leave this training program with the following deliverables for your organization:
- Results of a PMO maturity assessment for your organization
