Congratulations!
You’re The New Manager Of A PMO!

1. But where do you start?
2. What should you be focussing on?
3. Should you be building process, finding technology, sourcing workshops or out talking to stakeholders?
4. What are the priorities? What’s necessary for success? And how do you make sense of the challenge before you?

Transitioning into a new role is always stressful and challenging. It’s exciting and full of opportunity as well, of course.

Our challenge is to tackle the transition in a way that allows us to be successful, to deliver on the expectations being made of us and to be able to continue to thrive.

The management of a PMO is its own unique and interesting experience. The creation of a PMO represents a change to the structure, the politics and the power dynamics of the organization.

It is also often a reaction to crisis or a reaction to previous problems. This amplifies expectations, and means anyone stepping into the role often has a high hurdle to clear.

Even as you celebrate your promotion, expectations are being created.

Responding to and managing those expectations is going to be critical to your on-going success.

In this webinar, Mark Mullaly (LinkedIn profile) author of Researching the Value of Project Management explores the reality, the challenges and the opportunities that face the new PMO manager.

Mark explores the dynamics at work in the organization, and what needs to be done to establish, to build and sustain an effective PMO.

This presentation provides the new PMO manager with a guide to setting goals, setting direction and ultimately seeing success.

Steps To Making Clearer & More Effective Decisions

In this fast-paced world, one thing is certain: We need sharp critical thinkers who are able to size up a situation, realize the potential where others may not, and seize opportunities through prompt decision making.

We all perform some level of critical thinking in our daily lives, yet most of us don’t really know what it entails or how we do what we do.

This preview offers you a practical introduction to the highly popular AMA seminar, Critical Thinking.

Learn about the RED model of critical thinking and describe the basics of putting it into action using a practical case study.

AMA’s Critical Thinking seminar walks you through making reasoned judgments that are well thought out. Join us to get a preview of how the seminar reveals the methods used to improve your ability to engage in logical and rational thinking, including:

• How the RED Model is used to get to a decision point
  1. Recognize assumptions,
  2. Evaluate arguments,
  3. Draw conclusions
• The importance of separating facts from opinions
• Three steps you can take to apply critical thinking skills right away
