A Comprehensive Look at Function and Implementation

The Project Management Office (PMO) is a rapidly emerging concept in project management that has evolved in terms of its application, sophistication, and proven results. Most literature on the subject focuses on a specific facet or purpose of PMO. The Advanced Project Management Office: A Comprehensive Look at Function and Implementation provides an all-inclusive description of the PMO and allows project management professionals to select the features most appropriate and relevant to the issues at hand, while keeping the full PMO picture in perspective. The authors illustrate how the PMO can be used to reduce costs of projects, decrease time to market for new products, increase corporate profits, and ensure project success. This reference covers all aspects of PMO in a format that is easy to read and understand. It discusses the motivations for adopting a PMO, including project performance, project manager competency, the organizational desire to excel, and much more. Both short-term and long-term functions are identified and discussed. WBS-like structures are developed for use in the process of evaluating project performance during the life-cycle of the project. Ideal for senior project management professionals and as an advanced project management training program, the book presents two related models that deal with the evaluation of project performance from the vantage point of the client as well as the project team. With so many industries becoming project team driven, The Advanced Project Management Office will help project managers ensure project success and improve their company's bottom line.

The Four Value Conversations CIOs Must Have with Their Businesses

For many CIOs, the value they deliver is elusive. It's not that they do not create positive business outcomes, it's that they have a hard time demonstrating value for the money spent. As a result, many IT leaders find themselves trapped in a vicious cycle of defending their budgets, cutting resources when times are tight, and struggling to keep pace with an insatiable business appetite for innovation. Meanwhile, business leaders increasingly rely on the cloud and other third parties for their technology needs, finding clear tradeoffs between cost, features, risk, and speed of delivery at their fingertips. CIOs must not only compete with these alternatives, they must embrace the new reality of a multi-sourced, service-oriented world. Many IT leaders are taking a more proactive approach to optimizing value. By using shared facts about cost, consumption, quality, risk and performance, hundreds of CIOs have empowered value conversations centered on cost-for-performance, business-aligned portfolios, investments in innovation and enterprise agility. The tradeoffs they've illuminated changed the tone of their meetings and instilled a business mindset in IT decisions. By reading this book, you'll discover and learn the following: - A practical, applied framework -- called Technology Business Management -- for creating and using shared facts to make better decisions about people, technologies, services and investments - A standard taxonomy of resources, technologies and services for CIOs to translate between IT, financial, and business perspectives - Creating transparency to empower decision makers, demonstrate cost-efficiency, shape demand and plan in step with the business - What your technology business model says about the value you deliver and the disciplines you employ - How to shift from project portfolio management to service portfolio management to both improve alignment and adopt more agile approaches to innovation and development - How to optimize run-the-business spending by optimizing infrastructure, outsources, labor and services and rationalizing your portfolios for better alignment - How to improve your ability to change the business by better governing innovation investments and improving enterprise agility - How to create and execute a roadmap for improving data and decision making capabilities over time while reaping rewards at every stage of maturity

The proven method for building strategy, focusing your resources,  and taking smart action 

The inability to set good strategy can sink a company -- and a leader's career. A recent Wall Street Journal study revealed that the number one most sought after executive skill by organisations is strategic thinking, but few leaders have that skill set. In this book, Rich Horwath dissects the three most important elements of strategic thinking, breaks them down into simple and attainable skills, and shows readers how to apply them every day. He provides managers with a clear path to mastery of three disciplines: 1) Acumen -- generate critical insights through a step-by-step evaluation of the busi-ness and its environment; 2) Allocation -- focus limited resources of time, talent, and money; 3) Action -- implement a system to guarantee effective execution and communica-tion of strategy throughout the organisation. This book is based on research with senior executives from more than 150 companies and Horwath's own experience as a professional strategist. Armed with the knowl-edge from this book, every reader can become an expert strategist and an invaluable member of his or her organisation.
