Project Management Offices (PMOs) have long been the anchor for driving project performance, governance, and alignment. Yet despite decades of frameworks, certifications, and organizational investment, project success rates remain unacceptably low.

Too often, PMOs operate with narrow mandates, limited authority, and short-term horizons—leaving them perceived as overhead rather than value creators.

This panel brings together seasoned experts with decades of leadership experience in project management and PMO strategy to examine whether the current PMO model is sufficient for today’s fast-changing environment—or whether it must evolve into a recognized strategic division.

The discussion will address:

• The state of PMO effectiveness today and its limitations
• Whether the PMO—current or reimagined—is the right vehicle for transformation
• The structures, mandates, and authority required to deliver organizational value
• The case for elevating project management to a core governance-level function

Webinar Business Objectives

• Visibility: promotion, speaker sharing, and attendance
• Thought leadership: webinar insights, post-event content, and articles
• Lead generation: capturing qualified attendee details and follow-up
