Emergency Services PMOs - Today's Challenges

Time

15.00 - 15.30

Details

Following the launch of the Supporting Change in Blue Light Services – PMO Summit Report from the House of PMO, this Birds of a Feather session creates space to explore what the findings really mean in practice.

Across police, fire, ambulance and wider public services, PMOs are facing strikingly similar pressures – fragile sponsorship, “everything is priority” portfolios, capability gaps and growing change fatigue.

This won’t be a presentation. It’s a conversation.

Join fellow PMO professionals to share experiences, compare approaches, and swap practical ways to move from coping to performing in high-pressure delivery environments.

Key Features

What You’ll Take Away

  • Clarity on the common pressure points – how sponsorship, prioritisation, capability and stakeholder engagement are playing out across services.
  • Practical shifts you can try immediately – small but meaningful actions PMOs are using to move from admin to strategic partner.
  • Peer insight and connection – reassurance that you’re not alone, plus ideas you can take back to your own organisation straight away.

Lindsay Scott and Eileen Roden are the co-founders of the House of PMO - a professional membership organisation for people working in PMOs today.
