Webinar by Eileen Roden and Simon George of the APM PMO SIG
Do you know the competences required to be successful in your current and future PMO roles?
The new APM Competence Framework helps organisations and individuals to develop career paths and development plans for those working within projects, programmes and portfolios.
The recently revised and updated framework now contains role profiles for four key PMO roles. This webinar introduces you to some elements of these role profiles and look at how, as part of the APM Competence Framework, they can help you and your organisation in various types of PMO.

To meet the challenges of economic fluctuations, demanding competitive environments, and aggressive market conditions, companies need to be continuously evolving and adapting. Supporting the evolution are change management processes that focus on processes, structures, talent strategies and their alignment to the business realities.
Change management involves tried and tested methodologies, supported by robust HCM technology to evaluate scenarios, monitor impact and embrace change with flexibility, clarity and efficiency.

An APM event hosted by the London Branch on 17 May 2022.
Speaker: Emma-Ruth Arnaz-Pemberton
The role of PMO has changed so quickly that it’s difficult to keep up. Emma-Ruth took the delegates through the PMO journey so far, and explored what the future looks like; even in organisations where the future is now.
Resilience in a Post Covid World. Without resilience we fail to grow. Following the year we have had, this is the time to start to build skills such as resilience to support the ‘new normal’ whatever that looks like.
During this engaging and interactive presentation, Emma-Ruth explored the state of resilience in 2022. She helped you to discover why resilience appears so hard to find, and identified key focus areas for becoming resilient, as well as uncovering some practical tips that can help you to do so both as an individual and as a team; whether you are a Project Management Leader or Practitioner.

Program Management Offices (PgMOs) serve to provide portfolio, program and project management governance, policy, procedure, process, guidance, standards, tools, techniques, templates, methodologies, evaluation, risk, performance measurement, and reporting expertise in the role of a Center of Excellence. In implementing a PgMO, clients seek to ensure not only successful delivery of programs, projects and operations -- but also to obtain the benefits from a coordinated framework and methodology for continual improvement of program/project management, vendor management, ongoing operations management and resource management. Ideally, the proper setup, management, measurement & services offered at the PgMO will increase the likelihood of benefits realization within their organization and partner agencies.
This series of presentations was given on 15th May as part of the APM PMO SIG's 1 day conference entitled 'PMO in Practice'. This conference sought to demonstrate how PMO people have taken theory and implemented it in their organisations.
The APM PMO SIG designed this conference to cover the following topics:
Benefits management
Demonstrating the value of PMO
Project definition
Developing PMO maturity
During the day each speaker discussed their personal experience in implementing a specific function or service and give delegates practical tips and advice that they can take to their own PMO organisation.
Speakers on the day were:
Stuart Dixon, APM PMO SIG chair (at the time)
Emma Arnaz-Pemberton, EU PMO Manager Office Depot (now the PMO SIG's new chair)
Huw James, Head of Programme Management at Network Rail

Speaker: Carole Osterweil
Data is power. AI changes everything.
If the claims about both are true, how can we ensure we use data and AI well? And what does it mean for the very things which make us human - our feelings?
In this workshop Carole will draw on material from her ground-breaking book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do to answer both questions.
“We like to think our decision making is completely rational. However, once there's an element of uncertainty, conscious assessments are only part of the story. Two other inputs, both subconscious and driven by our innate need to survive, have a big impact.
One, automatic reactions driven by cognitive biases, gets plenty of airtime.
The other input, our raw visceral emotions might be scary to talk about and less understood - but that’s not a reason to pretend they don’t exist!”
This interactive workshop will draw on material from Carole’s book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do, published by APM in 2022.
You’ll come away with:
a clear understanding of how the human brain works.
a framework that:
explains ‘why people behave as they do’.
makes it easier to talk about feelings in a matter-of-fact way (so that they become part of your conscious data set)
new insights into yourself and your projects in a world that’s often characterised by stress and disorder.
Act on these insights and you’ll see the impact - on your teams and stakeholders, your decisions about how to use data and AI, and ultimately your project outcomes.
AI in the project profession: examples of current use and roadmaps to adoption webinar

Content description:
Disruptive technology and accelerating change is the now the norm within business. Advancements that feel relatively recent are already becoming embedded into business-as-usual activity. AI is one such advancement; it is already being used and having real-world impacts across the project profession.
To help P3M professionals understand the implications of this change, APM invited representatives from organisations that have introduced or are preparing to introduce AI into their project workstreams, to explain their approach and share their insight with fellow professionals.
This webinar on explored how AI is currently being used in project and programme management, and how organisations are gearing up for its adoption.
Katharine works for WRAP which is a climate action NGO working in more than 40 countries around the globe to tackle the causes of the climate crisis and give the planet a sustainable future. In this session, you will learn about WRAP’s plastics programme and how sustainability has been incorporated as a core value in delivery of the programme, with the aim of inspiring the audience to take action in their own work.
Kai-Fu Lee predicted that AI would change the world more than anything in the history of humanity – even electricity. It would disrupt how we live and work, how we operate our businesses, the core products and services on offer and the way in which we build technology.
However, in 2024 the impact of AI can no longer be discussed in future tense. With Microsoft copilot now publicly available, the change is already upon us. There is no consultation period or ‘unsubscribe’ button.
Project management professionals are likely to be asked to manage AI projects - and we are expected to skilfully use AI in our daily work lives. While overwhelming, this is not the first time we’ve had to adapt.
Sarah helps her audience sharpen their cutting-edge skills by answering:
What do I need to know about AI right now?
If I’m asked to work on an AI project, what techniques do I need to be successful?
Where do I start my own learning journey to upskill and prepare?
Sarah’s expertise in advanced agile and experience in highly regulated Finance environments give her a unique perspective into balancing governance with technical innovation. She uses her own experience building an AI solution in 2023 to share practical, widely applicable concepts in an “AI for project managers” 101 style session.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

29. Questions
Thank you to everybody who took the time to type in
a question. Where possible we have consolidated
questions and addressed them as follows:
1. Generic questions on the APM Competence
Framework – answered on the following slides
2. Specific questions on how the PMO role profiles
can be used – answered on the following slides
3. Generic PMO questions – these have been
posted in the APM PMOSIG LinkedIn group.
30. 1 - Generic questions on the APM
Competence Framework
• The 29 RPP competences are aligned to the original
APM Competence Framework. In due course, they
will be updated in line with the 2nd edition.
How do the 27 PMO competences align
with the 29 RPP competences?
• Any experience within the previous five years (in
your current or previous organisation) should be
recorded on your self assessment. Details of the
experience can be included in the evidence column.
Can self-assessment include experience
from previous roles?

32. 2 - Specific questions on how the PMO
roles profiles can be used
• The APM have created 14 role profiles which are all based on the
same 27 competences:
• 4 Project Management roles
• 3 Programme Management roles
• 3 Portfolio Management roles
• 4 PMO roles
What other role profiles are there?
• Yes. Each service will be underpinned by one or more of the
competences. A tailored role profile can be produced where
competences for all the services are included but some of the
competences are optional.
Can the role profiles be applied when the PMO
provides different services to different teams?
(cont/ . . .)
33. 2 - Specific questions on how the PMO
roles profiles can be used
• Organisations will continue to create job titles and descriptions to
suit their particular requirements. The APM (and P3O) have tried
to standardise the naming conventions and hopefully these will
become more commonplace.
Given the confusion of what PMO stands for and
the various roles, are there plans to simplify this?
• The structure is currently supporting a community of 1100 (PPM
and operational areas). The structure (with more people in it) will
eventually be rolled out to support a community of 30,000.
What is the size of the community supported by the
structure Simon discussed?
• These two roles are the same.
