ESI’s 2012 PMO Global Survey – Participate Now!

ESI 2011 PMO global survey which attracted nearly 4000 participants concluded:

• The discourse was shifting from determining PMO maturity to the value the mature PMO brings.
• More transparency was needed. Three out of four non-PMO staff said their organisation either did not measure or they did not know whether it measures PMO effectiveness. In fact, more than half did not measure PMO effectiveness at all.
• The PMO was a hub of project management training for some, but its positive influence on career progression was questionable. The PMO was strongest in conveying method­ologies and other PM ‘hard’ skills and weakest in teaching ‘soft’ skills such as leadership and critical thinking.
• The measurement of training impact was sorely neglected in North America and EMEA, but more common in the APAC region.
• Many PMOs were not operating at a strategic level: only 20% reported they engaged in Portfolio Management, and 15% reported that they tracked return on investment and benefits realisation.

What will be the global state of the PMO in 2012?

ESI International invites you to participate in this second benchmarking survey seeking to assess the role of the Project Management Office (PMO), its value and trends in both your organisation and throughout the business world.

This brief survey should take less than 15 minutes to complete and all responses will be kept anonymous. The results will be compiled in a Global Benchmark Report which will offer a unique overview of different PMOs and their trends across the world.

The survey closes on the 3rd of February 2012.

We will announce the results of the survey at the next Centre of Excellence event on the 14 March 2012.

Thank you in advance for your time!
