In many organizations, the Program/Project Management Office (PMO) is viewed as purely a cost center, so it becomes marginalized by additional layers of bureaucracy, oversight and cost. But the essence of the PMO and portfolio management in general is to add value to the organization.

So how do organizations reconcile the cost of the PMO versus the value it adds?

The short answer is to flip the conversation on its head and talk about the PMO as a revenue driver rather than a cost center.

In this session Daniel Stober PMP (LinkedIn profile) will explain how, by focusing on efficiencies gained and reduced waste, you can shift the conversation from the PMO being a necessary evil to the PMO being critical for organizational success.
