Benefits of Attending

Why should I attend?

At most companies, project managemnt has become an organizational wide function that has not only saved money and time, but has been helpful in achieving a company's overall business goals. While the intention of a PMO is to add value to the bottom line, often this may go to the wayside because of poorly managed resources, lack of executive buy-in, and changes in technology and global initiatives. Management IQ has created a conference that will focus on all Program Management Offices, no matter what the project is. The PMO Summit 2008 is for PMO executives who want to take their program management efforts to the next level... moving beyond a strict focus on technology and accreditation, but effectively incorporating the "soft skills" associated with team-building and leadership development to create a more holistic PMO strategy.
