P3O is a strategic framework which is becoming more and more popular amongst organisations large and small. It can provide coordinated support and scrutiny and consistent delivery for all change - at whatever level in an organisation.
This two day workshop is designed to enable delegates to understand their organisations capacity and ability to manage change, to ensure the correct changes are selected and to execute change in the most efficient and effective way.
It is appropriate for anyone requiring an understanding of Portfolio Management and the supporting environment for successful programmes and projects. For executives and strategists P3O supports and enables effective delivery of corporate strategy. For programme and project practitioners it explains the real business purpose of your initiatives and provides a support structure to enhance your chance of successful contribution to strategic improvement.
The workshop prepares delegates to sit the P3O Foundation Certificate at the end of the second day.
The syllabus is based on the OGC publication ‘Portfolio, Programme and Project Office. This is a blended learning course. A pre-course workbook will be provided, which will need to be completed by delegates before attending the workshop.
