From Acorn to Oak: PMO Maturity in Your Organisation, Your Team and You

May 27, 2009 - PRLog -- In 2008, P3O, the new Portfolio, Programme and Project Office framework was launched to the PMO community. In September 2009, the ppsosig launches its new conference "From Acorn to Oak: PMO Maturity in your Organisation, Your Team and You" focused on the next steps in growing your PMO.

This two day conference, being held on the 16th & 17th September 2009, will move you from awareness to a greater understanding of the current guidance and tools available to assess your organisational and PMO maturity.

The conference will provide expert led presentations and interactive sessions combined with networking and discussion groups on key topics such as PMO maturity models, structures, assessments, PMO roles, PMO team development and personal development.  

You will leave the conference with 6-12 month action plans designed to assist you in growing the maturity of your PMO team and yourself and a clear grasp of how the new P3O framework can be of help to you now.
