SUMMARY:How to Setup a PMO - Best Practices
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual lunch with our very own Michael Fiandalo 
 to discuss best practices setting up a PMO.&nbsp\;
 This presentation out
 lines an approach to building and evolving a Project Management Office by 
 repositioning the PMO from a delivery function to a&nbsp\;strategic enable
 r of enterprise value. It emphasizes that effective PMOs are intentionally
  designed around organizational strategy\, culture\, and decision‑making
  needs and not imposed as one‑size‑fits‑all structures. Leveraging t
 he&nbsp\;PMI PMO Global Alliance Value‑Ring (Flywheel) framework\, he il
 lustrates how PMOs can mature through continuous cycles of strategic align
 ment\, service design\, execution\, measurement\, and value realization. K
 ey themes include establishing the ePMO as the bridge between strategy and
  execution\, prioritizing services that matter most to leadership\, measur
 ing outcomes rather than activity\, and building a resilient\, customer‑
 centric PMO that adapts over time while enabling data‑driven executive d
 ecision‑making.
