Many organizations have invested significant time, effort and money on Project Office deployments but are still not achieving the desired results. This session explores how the Strategic Project Office provides project management expertise throughout the organization. Learn how to overcome the political foes of a more active project office, and how to change the very culture of the organization to a "project culture." This session will focus on three areas of a project management culture critical to project management performance: Governance, Portfolio Management, and Resource Optimization. Ground-breaking research on PMOs will be shared to reflect how organizations are approaching Project Office cultural change. Project Office best practices will be incorporated throughout the presentation.
