Today I participated in the PMO Connection Day Dubai event organized by Dubai Municipality in collaboration with PMO Global Alliance. It’s always a pleasure to meet Americo Pinto and connect with colleagues from the Project Management world. 

There has been a survey among the audience on Which is the best PMO model? And surprisingly, among traditional answers of Strategic Management Office, the other top answers were VMO and Agile PMO. Good sign! 😉

The other top 10 quotes from today’s event:

  1. The higher level of the PMO, the more impact it can make.
  2. Awareness and visibility, diplomacy and tolerance, agility and adaptability, persistence, and value delivery are PMO principles.
  3. In the current environment and conditions, EQ management and mental health are priorities for the PMO members to achieve sustainable success.
  4. PMO should adjust based on the changes in the organization. Anticipating what needs to be done, accelerating execution, and delivering value.
  5. In the new era, PMOs with an entrepreneurial approach will succeed, and the ability to unlearn and relearn is a key differentiator. Initiate ideas, test, and produce.
  6. The hybrid module of funding initiatives is a way to go.
  7. PMO can elevate and evaluate mentorship, coaching, educating, and transferring culture.
  8. Each PMO has a unique service catalog tailored for the organization.
  9. Women have an advantage in leading the PMO as they have empathy. 
  10. A key quality of the PMO is understanding the need of the customer, managing customers with high service, and driving changes.

P.S.: Congratulations to Heba Al Shehhi on your new role as PMOGA UAE Hub President, and I wish you all the best in uniting the PMO community in UAE and achieving great success.
P.P.S: Americo Pinto, cannot wait to read your new book. 😊
