News - Governance as a PMO
David Dunning presented the APM PMOSIG Webinar in September 2021
Title: Governance as a PMO - I just need to do what each programme board asks me, right?
Projects and programmes can (or maybe should?) be very focused seeing only their needs. How do we avoid possible inefficiency of parochialism to enable organisationally aligned, effective decision-making?

Title: Business Integrated Governance - Chocolate chip on top, or baked through the cake?
Many organisations understand governance, assurance & data independently, but make assumptions ‘these just happen’. We often just sprinkle them on top of our organisation and assume that ‘good’ runs all through the organisation.
We may have good intentions at the ‘top of the shop’ by setting great strategies but are often disappointed when change delivery doesn’t match the goals, & often find out too late.
Poor accountability, infrastructure & limited capability to paint a believable picture are all symptoms of the problem.
So time to change the game, think BIG?
The Core P3M Data Club created the BIG model to transform governance, accountability, assurance & information throughout the organisation, delivering strategic alignment, effectiveness, efficiency by utilising the existing systems & tools. David explained why we developed BIG, how it integrates governance, assurance & an organisation Data model to ensure decisions are made rapidly, by the right people and with confidence and control.

Resource management? I've got Excel and half a day a week. What else do I need?
There is a perception in some quarters that resource management is either what you do in SAP or is what line managers do in Excel to keep track of what their folks are up to – that it is either ‘local’ or ‘macro’ – but the two perspectives are too difficult to join together.
