The key challenge to organizational PM is that companies tend to view projects in isolation by ignoring the obvious (and sometimes not-so-obvious) linkages. Here we present a list of essential factors to ensure the organization can begin to not just benefit from the discipline of project management, but be able to maximize the benefits that organizational PM can provide.

The number of articles that explain why something doesn’t work--or is wrong, or isn’t working the way it should--is staggering. It's time to take a different approach by focusing on what actually does work. Join us for a look at consciously seeking the positive, a rare but perhaps necessary practice.
What is maturity? Can an organization be considered mature if it does the wrong things well? What if it does the right things in the wrong way?

How committed is your organization to making Organizational Project Management a success? Will you have the sustained leadership, organizational change management, and commitment to continuous improvement necessary to succeed? Use this questionnaire in conjunction with Implementing Organizational Change Management, A Practice Guide to help find the answers.
During this presentation, we plan to give some examples of this type of situation. And, we will highlight how an organization can increase their OPM Maturity and allow the PMO to be more constructive to the entire organization.

This webinar will describe how good inventions come from good projects, successful innovations come from good programs, and portfolio management helps pick the best projects and programs to deliver. It will also show how each of these critical parts of an OPM engine come together to enable continuous innovation and success. Finally, the webinar wil finish with a discussion on how OPM3, PMI's standard for OPM, can be used to test that system to make sure it is healthy and firing on all cylinders.
