Presented by Scott Young, PMO Manager - LCC Workshop Synopsis: Operating in a world of austerity has made the establishment of a PMO that explicitly and visibly adds value absolutely crucial at Leicestershire County Council. Demonstrating that the PMO is more than a ‘taking notes and setting up meetings’ function has been the challenge over the last 2 years and Scott will share some of the ups and downs of this journey, some of the key learning from his experience and how the PMO is now evolving to be sustainable beyond the end of austerity.
