Speaker: Peter Taylor, Speaker/Author, The Lazy Project Manager
Business transformation is a high priority in today's corporate landscape - a fact that the C-Suite is well aware of.

Sometimes they even stop paying any attention at all to this critical organization change, delegating essential strategy projects to those with little to no relevant experience. Enter: the project management office. PMOs are uniquely situated to orchestrate organizational change, all while building a landscape that is centered around collaboration and social interaction.
