The Game-Changing Steps to a High-IMPACT PMO

Whether you’re starting a PMO for the first time, trying to get your PMO back on track, or just want to ensure that your PMO is driving as much value as possible, this training will get right to the heart of what really makes a difference in the eyes of your business leaders, where to focus YOUR energy for the best results, and how to accelerate your PMO performance.

During this interactive session, you’ll learn the step-by-step system that has been developed through more than 25 years of Laura’s real-world experience as a PMO leader, and then as a consultant, trainer, and coach. We’ll explore why the typical guidance is not serving you or your PMO and what techniques drive greater results with less headache. We have used this system to transform the careers of hundreds of PMO leaders, enabling them to become an invaluable strategic asset that business leaders are fighting over.
