PMO ADVISORY 2025 SUMMITS

In today’s fast-changing, tech-driven world, project management is more than just execution—it’s a critical path to leadership. While hard and soft skills are essential, they are not enough for those aiming for executive roles. This summit goes beyond traditional training, integrating strategic, human-centric, and creative skills to help professionals tackle VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) and thrive in the age of AI.

Inspired by Dr. Te Wu’s research in the Journal of Business Strategy, this summit introduces 20 key disciplines for rising to the top, including the emerging role of Chief Project Officer. Whether you’re just starting or already on your way up, this event provides the insights and network needed to elevate your project management career to executive leadership.

In today’s dynamic business environment, project management alone is no longer sufficient. To outshine and outperform in a competitive landscape, project and program managers should reach higher and help their organizations achieve their strategic goals. The Program Management Virtual Summit 2024 is tailored to address the growing need for skilled program managers who can navigate complex projects, manage interdependencies, and drive organizational success.

The summit will highlight the six key areas of program management, each essential for ensuring that your programs achieve superior performance beyond the basic success criteria of completing on time and within budget. These include enabling strategic alignment and ensuring collaboration, establishing proper governance, engaging key stakeholders, realizing both strategic and tactical benefits, and managing programs throughout its life cycle.

The Portfolio Management Summit, hosted by PMO Advisory, is a premier event dedicated to exploring the latest trends, strategies, and best practices in portfolio management. This highly anticipated summit brings together industry experts, thought leaders, and seasoned professionals in portfolio management to share their insights and experiences, empowering attendees to maximize business value through effective portfolio management.

During this summit, participants will gain valuable insights into the critical role of portfolio management in driving organizational success and achieving strategic objectives. Through keynote presentations, interactive workshops, and panel discussions, attendees will explore topics such as portfolio governance, prioritization techniques, resource allocation, risk management, and performance measurement. They will learn from real-world case studies and success stories, enabling them to leverage practical strategies and tools to enhance their own portfolio management practices.

Project portfolio management has emerged as a pivotal development in the project management field, driven by three key factors. Firstly, organizations are recognizing the imperative to stay competitive by undertaking projects that align closely with their strategic objectives. Secondly, the need to address significant challenges such as risks, resources, governance, and performance has fueled the growing importance of project portfolio management. Lastly, the quest for improved investment performance and superior results has led organizations to focus on executing the “right projects” in conjunction with executing them in the “right way” through program and project management.

Despite its growing significance, forums dedicated to project portfolio management have been notably scarce. Many project portfolio professionals have been actively seeking suitable platforms for knowledge exchange and networking. This scarcity is particularly pronounced for individuals holding the Portfolio Management Professional (PfMP) certification, who must accrue “Ways of Working” or technical Professional Development Units (PDUs) to maintain their certifications.

In response to this gap, PMO Advisory, a PMI Authorized Training Partner and a recognized leader in project portfolio management, organized a virtual summit. This event provided a unique opportunity for portfolio professionals at all levels to come together, learn, network, and delve into the intricacies of project portfolio management. The summit served as a dynamic platform for knowledge sharing, fostering a collaborative environment that empowered professionals to enhance their skills and stay abreast of industry trends.

In today’s fast-paced and competitive business landscape, the role of project executives, including Chief Project Officers (CPO) is become increasingly crucial for organizations striving to achieve their strategic objectives. The conference theme, “Rise to the Top, Becoming a Chief Project Officer,” is designed to inspire and empower project management professionals to reach the pinnacle of their careers and assume leadership roles in driving project success.

This conference will bring together industry experts, seasoned executives including CPOs, and aspiring project leaders to delve into the essential skills, knowledge, and strategies required to excel at the executive level. Participants will gain valuable insights into the evolving nature of project management, the challenges faced by CPOs, and the proven techniques for effectively leading projects at the executive level.

Whether you are an entry-level professional seeking to develop a career path or an experienced project manager aspiring to become a project executive, or a current executive pursuing the next level, this conference is tailored to meet your needs. Rise to the Top, Becoming a Chief Project Officer will equip you with the insights and tools necessary to lead projects successfully at the highest level, drive organizational growth, and make a lasting impact in the field of project management.
