About this webinar

Technology alone doesn’t transform delivery. People do. In this session, we explore what it really takes to successfully deploy project and portfolio management technology while keeping people, behaviours, and adoption firmly at the centre.

Joined by guest speaker Kerry Marriott from the Crown Estate, this session brings a real-world perspective on implementing Wellingtone Accelerator+ and enabling teams through meaningful change. Kerry will share her experience of balancing technology rollout with practical change management, highlighting what worked, what didn’t, and how to create lasting adoption across delivery teams.

Expect honest insights, practical lessons, and a clear view of how organisations can move beyond “tool deployment” to true transformation, where technology supports the way people actually work, not the other way around.

What will you learn?

  • Why technology deployments fail without a focus on people and adoption

  • The Crown Estate’s journey implementing Accelerator+

  • Common pitfalls in change management and how to avoid them

  • Practical approaches to driving user adoption across delivery teams

  • Aligning technology with real ways of working, not just process design

  • Lessons learned from real implementation challenges and successes

  • How to set your PMO up for long term, sustainable change

Who should attend?

This session is ideal for PMO leaders, project managers, transformation leads, and anyone responsible for introducing or scaling project management technology. If you are navigating change, driving adoption, or looking to get more value from your Microsoft 365 investment, this session will give you practical, real-world guidance you can apply immediately.
