Project management faces new challenges ahead to deal with multi-projects environments.

On top of that, globalisation and outsourcing trends add more complexity to project, program and portfolio management.

Traditional PMOs are struggling to balance flexibility and control while still assuring strategic alignment.

As a result, new PMO models are needed. In this webinar, we are going to present cases and suggestions on how to create, implement and maintain virtual PMOs.

In this webinar Mario Trentim  (LinkedIn profile) will walk you through challenges & trends of “Virtual PMOs”.

Just a year or so ago, inclusion meant ensuring equal representation related to gender, ethnicity, race, and sexual orientation.

Today, driven by the large numbers of millennials in the workforce, inclusion has come to mean something different.

Increasingly, employees are calling for cognitive inclusion (CI), or the full acceptance of the whole person and their unique set of attributes and perspectives within the organization.

In this interactive webinar, Alexandra will explore recent research documenting the rise of CI and provide strategies for taking your inclusion strategies to the next level.
