Let’s be honest, most executives don’t wake up thinking about the PMO. They’re focused on business results, growth, and avoiding surprises in board meetings. If your PMO isn’t directly helping them achieve those goals, you’ll struggle to get their buyin (or even their attention).

In this session, we’ll tackle the reality head on: PMOs that thrive don’t just track projects they drive strategy. The secret? Speaking the language of executives, proving ROI, and making sure the right projects get done (not just the loudest ones).

During the online event, Emma-Ruth will help you to explore what real PMO maturity looks like, the characteristics that assessors look for to determine where you are on the maturity scale.

Along with the theory, Emma-Ruth will share some practical tips on how to identify your keys to success, simple but effective ways to improve, and how to get started.

In this edition of the Nexus of Learning Book Club, we use Agentic Artificial Intelligence by Pascal Bornet as a springboard to explore a much bigger question: How should project leaders operate when AI systems are no longer just tools but autonomous collaborators?

Agentic AI represents the next phase of digital transformation. Many organizations are already experimenting with generative AI, but very few are structurally prepared for systems that can reason, plan, trigger workflows, and operate with semi-autonomy. This book was selected because it shifts the conversation from AI as a capability to AI as a transformation catalyst that reshapes governance, delivery models, and leadership accountability. This session goes beyond summarizing the book. Instead, it translates the concept of agentic AI into practical enterprise scenarios—banking modernization, AI-driven automation, governance-heavy production environments, and cross-border transformation programs.

Thanks to the power of AI, the next generation of project delivery won’t be managed, it will be orchestrated, seamlessly, silently, invisibly. It just might be the end of project management as we know it and the beginning of something radically smarter, but will humans still be involved and, if so, how?

The presentation offers an essential and thought-provoking guide to evolution for forward-looking leaders, digital transformation strategists, and change agents who are planning for the long game.

Are you ready to disappear?

Expect a highly interactive and fun fuelled conversational session.

Strategy rarely fails in the boardroom; it fails in the corridors, meetings and inboxes where leaders interpret, adjust and quietly block the call to action. This presentation tackles the most stubborn problem in enterprise change: how to actually get a reluctant organisation to move.

This session explores the political nature of organisations, the mechanics of mobilising a “volunteer army” of middle managers and below, and the quarterly cadence that turns strategy into delivered outcomes.

Participants leave with a working influence map of their own context, a designed first sprint they can run inside their organisation (or their client’s), and seven design principles for getting bottom-up change off the ground.

Technical skills get you hired. Power skills get you heard, trusted, and promoted.

In today’s complex project landscape, project and program managers are expected to lead without always having formal authority, managing stakeholders, navigating resistance, and driving decisions in environments that rarely stop to wait for clarity.

In this 60-minute webinar, Raquel Horta – coach, consultant, and author of Power Skills: The Human Edge in Project and Program Management – explores the skills every PM needs to increase their influence.
