Details
Enterprise PMOs (ePMO) are often associated with standards, reporting and oversight - but their real value lies in the services they provide to shape better decisions across the organisation.
This session explores five essential EPMO services that consistently strengthen delivery performance across portfolios: governance design, strategic alignment, independent assurance, benefits management and knowledge reuse.
Rather than focusing on individual projects, the session looks at how these services influence the conditions for success before delivery even begins.
Drawing on real-world experience and insights from the PMO community, Eileen will explore the common challenges PMOs face when establishing these services, alongside the practical success factors that help them land well and deliver genuine impact.
Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how ePMO services can move beyond administration to become a strategic enabler of effective delivery.
