Press Briefing

The Strategic Portfolio Programme Project Office (SP3O)

Globally, the role of the Project Management Office (PMO) has evolved significantly over the past five years. Originally the custodian of best practice, the PMO is now expected to be a strategic business partner that enables strategy execution through projects and programmes.

During this Master Class we will discuss the following:

• What is the Strategic Portfolio Programme Project (SP3O)?

• What should its role and mandate be?

• How should it be structured and positioned within the organisation?

• What services should it provide?

• What capabilities should it have?

• How does your current PMO compare to the new-generation PMO?

• How should you migrate your current PMO into a Strategic Portfolio Programme Project Office?

You will be equipped with practical frameworks and templates to design the operating model for your Strategic Portfolio Programme Project Office (SP3O) and develop your action plan for migration of your current PMO. Learn from those who have done it before and fast-track your own PMO journey!

Why a master class series?PMO Forum conversations indicated a need for in-depth workshops, facilitated by subject matter experts, on selected topics that continuously feature on the list of top challenges for PMO heads.

To address this need, PwC has the pleasure of announcing the PwC PMO Master Class Series.

Each Master Class will focus on a specific topic. A subject matter expert will lead the session, presenting relevant frameworks and models and facilitating in-depth conversations around the implementation thereof. These sessions will aim to be highly practical, providing you with templates and actionable plans.

Share in the knowledge and experience of a global practice that has assisted many clients across different industries to improve their business performance.
