Specialisms

PMO Training and Development
Core PMO Function and Services
Work Challenges
PMO Knowledge and Capability

My area of expertise is education and training in PMO – as well as project, programme and portfolio management too.

I previously worked in PMO before moving into training and consultancy over a decade ago. My coaching & mentoring sessions focus on the practicalities of PMO work and I help PMO people who need advice and guidance on the core functions and services of PMO. I authored the P3O best practice guidance too so I’m able to offer advice and guidance on that specifically.

Examples include mentoring individuals through new challenges in their PMO work such as getting to grips with benefits management or resource management; providing a sounding board as people work through a specific PMO problem and ongoing coaching arrangements to improve capability and confidence.

Eileen can help with:

Guidance on PMO work issues – the “how-to”
Ongoing mentoring to improve overall capability in your PMO role
PMO training and development advice
PMO Studying and examination guidance

Insight and experience – Eileen has a wealth of knowledge which helped me shape the work I needed to, I have now a draft strategy, and a clear direction of travel for the next 18 months which was what I needed to get to.

My function is relatively new in an organisation that isn’t too sure what a Portfolio Management Office is. To be able to talk through these challenges and the pro’s and con’s of different models was extremely valuable. As an added bonus to get observations and feedback on my personal approach was the icing on the cake and has given me a real boost in confidence.

“I was feeling lost before I called but now I have a boost of confidence and some useful stuff I can go away and start doing”

“Her ability to talk about her own real on the job experience. She has excellent communication, better than the consultants I’ve had to deal with lately!! She used simple language and examples that I could understand clearly so, I felt we covered a lot in an hour as I wasn’t confused because she kept it simple. The structure of the conversation was really good. She asked me upfront what I wanted and checked during the conversation that I understood things. She asked good questions that made me think differently and have an ‘ah ha’ moment :-)”
