The types of jobs which are typical at this level are:

“I did this course a few years back and highly recommend it. With tons of insight and ‘ah-ha!’ moments. it is a great opportunity to work with like-minded professionals and take your PMO game to the next level.”

“Very experienced and engaging trainer, A lot of thought had gone into the course content. High calibre of the other attendees, allowing very good discussion.”

“The course was brilliant and allowed us to learn by feeding off of each other, rather than being walked through lots of theory.”

“Eileen is an excellent trainer, whose extensive experience enable her to illustrate the course with real-life examples. We had many discussions that added great richness and depth. The course is based on principles rather than procedures, and covered many concepts that will be useful back at the workplace, leaving me with a long reading list.”

“A genius idea to run as a 5 day residential. Discussions carried on “after class” and the after-dinner, extra-curricular talks from other experts all made it quite an intensive experience.”

“The course was an excellent mixture of theory and group work – using a case study to help attendees think about how to practically apply the learning to a business situation, right away. The trainer was incredibly knowledgeable and able to give plenty of real world experiences as examples, and draw experiences and learning from attendees.”

“The course was brilliant and allowed us to learn by feeding off of each other, rather than being walked through lots of theory”

“This course DOESN’T ask you to memorise a book, mark it up and fill the blank pages with diagrams. It DOES require you to THINK and DISCUSS. The course draws from many sources, including the latest academic research.”

“Recommended for experienced senior PMO folk! I like that it starts from the ‘Business’ side, looking at an organisation’s strategy as the foundation of the PMO design itself and what its purpose in life is, well before looking at e.g. how change initiatives align to strategies.”
