PMI PMO Symposium 2019

Description:
We have all heard it before - leadership buy-in and support are critical to project success. Nevertheless, data from PMI 2019 Pulse survey show organizations wasted almost 12 percent of their investment in project spend last year due to poor performance. This number has not changed much in the past five years. Executives are busy people. They have many decisions, many investments to focus on, and their time is very valuable. PMO leaders are poised in their position to take on the role of engaging C-level executives. Join this knowledge hub to share tips on how to engage in quality dialog, build trust, influence decisions and advance your strategic project portfolios. Working to enhance your interactions with the C-suite can make all the difference in moving your projects forward.*Seats are limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basisWe have all heard it before - leadership buy-in and support are critical to project success.
