MASTERCLASS | Making AI Work for Your PMO
14 Jul @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm BST
About this webinar
In this free one-hour masterclass, Baz and Emma tackle one of the biggest questions facing PMO teams right now: why does AI feel so promising but deliver so little in practice? The answer is almost always the same, inconsistent project data, fragmented processes and a portfolio that is not structured to be interrogated. This session gives you a clear picture of what needs to be in place before AI can genuinely support your PMO, and how to get there without starting from scratch.
By the end of the hour you will know exactly where AI can remove the burden from your team, whether that is drafting lessons learned, accelerating risk identification, cutting down reporting cycles or improving portfolio visibility. No theory, no hype, just a practical and honest conversation grounded in real PMO challenges.
What will you learn?
Why PMO data quality, process consistency and portfolio structure are the real barriers to AI value
Where AI has the biggest impact across the PMO: status reporting, risk logs, lessons learned, resource planning and portfolio insights
How to stay in the driving seat as the human accountable for the outputs AI produces
What “AI-ready” looks like in practice for a PMO at different maturity levels
Real examples of PMOs using AI to reduce reporting burden and improve decision-making
A live Menti poll so you can see how your experience compares to others in the room
Who should attend?
This masterclass is for PMO leaders, PMO practitioners and project managers who want a grounded, practical conversation about what AI means for their day-to-day work. If you are drowning in manual reporting, struggling to get consistent data out of your project teams, or trying to figure out where to start without wasting time on tools that do not stick, this is the session for you.
