PMO Value: Building Trust and Getting Things Done

Summary

How do you build trust and move complex work forward across an organization?

At PSTA, the PMO creates value by involving internal customers throughout the project lifecycle and keeping the work grounded in real business needs. By engaging the people who will ultimately own and operate the result, the team builds shared ownership, strengthens decision-making, and helps departments work together more effectively.

Join Lucien Campillo, PMP, Director of Project Management at PSTA, for a practical look at how the PMO earns trust, supports collaboration, and helps teams get important work done. Through real-world examples, attendees will see how stronger stakeholder involvement and alignment can lead to better project outcomes and greater organizational value.
