Program
PMO Leadership
For heads of PMO building or repositioning a PMO that earns real authority, not just a reporting mandate.
Overview
Most PMO leaders inherit a group built as a reporting function and are expected to somehow turn it into one with real influence over prioritization, resourcing, and escalation, without any structured training in how that transition actually happens. PMO Leadership works through that transition directly: clarifying what type of PMO the organization actually needs, defining real decision rights before building process around them, and earning credibility through early, visible wins rather than a large rollout nobody asked for.
Who Should Attend
- Heads of PMO and senior PMO leaders repositioning an existing PMO's mandate.
- Leaders standing up a new PMO from scratch after a program failure or reorganization.
- PMO staff being promoted into PMO leadership for the first time.
- Executives sponsoring a PMO who want a shared vocabulary with the PMO's leadership.
Learning Outcomes
- Clarify whether the organization actually needs a supportive, controlling, or directive PMO before building anything.
- Define the PMO's real decision rights: what it can mandate, recommend, or must escalate, before designing process.
- Build PMO credibility through a small number of high-visibility wins in the first two quarters.
- Design a PMO that shrinks its own busywork over time instead of growing headcount to keep up.
Curriculum
Module 1: What Kind of PMO Are You Actually Building
Matching PMO type - supportive, controlling, directive - to the organization's real delivery maturity, not a generic template.
Module 2: Decision Rights Before Process
Defining what the PMO can mandate, recommend, or must escalate before any process gets built around it.
Module 3: Earning the Seat
Sequencing early, visible wins that build PMO credibility instead of a large process rollout nobody requested.
Module 4: Scaling Without Bloating
Automating status collection and reporting so PMO time shifts toward judgment calls, not slide compilation.
