PMO Leadership – Digital Transformation of the PMO

The Data-Smart PMO – How to optimize a data-informed project delivery culture, elevate performance, and drive projects to success

In today’s digitalized world with seemingly endless capabilities to leverage modern technology and data to streamline processes and improve decision-making, the PMO is destined to transform into a digital powerhouse, bringing technological innovation and data-driven intelligence to projects and portfolios across the entire organization.

While today’s technology and data capabilities without a doubt will provide significant improvements to PMO processes, new predictive capabilities based on data analytics for better and effective decision making require an adjusted project culture, a new way of working, and new critical skills that easily could be downplayed or overlooked in a rushed transition process.

But for data to provide truly valuable insights that instruct strategic project decisions, such capabilities need to be enabled by establishing an environment that fosters curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking, to ensure not only speed and efficiency towards timely and data-informed decisions, but also truthfulness and relevance in the data, for the PMO to become eventually the single source of truth in an organization.

In this presentation, Marcus Glowasz will outline how data analytics and modern technology can significantly improve PMO effectiveness and performance, and elaborate on the often unknown and harder-to-quantify keys to successfully adopt such capabilities and take full advantage of data.
