Watch the on-demand PMO webinar and find out how to:



  • Understand exactly what the business needs from your PMO.
  • Implement fast, visible, “just enough” governance to drive project selection.

  • Align your PMO’s skills and resources to the projects that will generate most benefit.
  • Equip your PMO to track benefits from day one.

Portfolio prioritisation: the first step to PMO success

Did you know that, according to recent research, more than half of PMOs are struggling to align their projects portfolio to the overall business objectives?

Even more concerning, 92% of PMOs are still not effectively utilising available resources to deliver the organisational strategy.*

These are seriously worrying trends. They risk wasting the PMO's time, frustrating wider stakeholders and, ultimately, leading to the question no PMO ever wants to hear from its Sponsors:

"Why on earth are we doing this project in the first place?"

If you're struggling with this, you're by no means alone. In fact, from Kivue's perspective, it's one of the pain points we hear about most often. So, in this webinar, Rupert and Andy bring together their combined 50 years' portfolio management experience to tackle this stubborn issue once and for all.

Optimise project selection and show your PMO's value from day one.

The real secret lies in getting on top of portfolio prioritisation right from the start. The days of starting "pet projects' without a valid business case are coming to an end. And, if your PMO isn't there already, the day is coming soon when you'll be expected to show how every project (especially in Tier One) is driving direct benefits for the business.

It's all part of moving to what Kivue likes to call the "Next-Gen PMO" mindset. With this approach, simplicity is key, driving value is the priority, and the PMO is aligned directly to the executive mindset with control and visibility over which projects you're selecting - and why. In this webinar, Rupert and Andy show you simple, actionable tactics to get you started on the journey - right now.
