Setting up a Project Support Office1 day
If multiple projects run simultaneously in an organisation, there are great benefits to be gained from the establishment of a Project Support Office (PSO) to centralise the co-ordination of resources, plans and ideas. Especially, as most projects are not run in isolation but overlap and a PSO enables strategic decisions to be made regarding all projects.
This workshop enables participants to identify the benefits of setting up a PSO, how they promote, support and maintain good project practice, on an individual project and consolidated basis.
This course helps learners to :
- Understand the roles and functions of the PSO
- Identify the PSO’s generic benefits
- Recognise how the PSO operates within the project system
- Develop a PSO implementation strategy
Throughout this highly interactive course there are opportunities to practice and test the skills you are learning.
