APM PMO Jul 24 Part 1 - Introduction, Current PMO Connection to the business - and gaps to strategy

On the 11th July, the APM PMO Interest Network held it's conference - with a theme "The Big PMO Adoption".
From a PMO perspective - there is typically much more a PMO can do for an organisation than it currently does. There is much talk in PMO circles about clarifying service offerings to take to an organisation. This is great proactive engagement from PMO professionals.
However - the Business Integrated Governance approach is to offer a different proposition. The proposition is to help the organisation deliver strategy - and, in fact, at the recent House of PMO conference, there was much talk of "adding value" and "strategic alignment".
Part 1 of 3 covers Introduction, Current PMO Connection to the business - and gaps to strategy - and defines the challenge to PMO
In essence - this service would provide all the core capabilities a PMO could provide - but not just on a project, programme or portfolio level - but on a business-wide basis - and focused around objectives, not just projects.
This brings a greater definition to 'Big PMO' - a 'BIG PMO' - or as the BIG CIC calls it - "Business Support"
