Going from good to better to best PMO practice
In today’s commercial arena, achieving best practice is a laudable ambition. But it’s the continuous improvement journey, not the end strategic destination, that has the real power to drive visible accountable success.

According to PMI’s latest evidence, organisations routinely waste 12% of their project investment spend due to poor performance - a figure that has remained stubbornly consistent over the past five years. Meanwhile, Geneca’s research reveals a significant gap between strategy and deliverables: 45% of PMO and project leaders state that the wider business objectives are unclear to them. Even more worrying: only 23% of respondents feel that senior stakeholders and project teams agree on what defines a successfully completed project . What’s more, 80% of project professionals estimate that they spend half (yes, half) of their time on rework – suggesting a lack of clear initial objectives resulting in misinformed workstreams. Attend our webinar to discover more.
All webinar attendees will receive a copy of the info paper from industry experts guiding you on achieving Best Practice.
