Overview
Learn a wide range of proven techniques and emerging concepts for creating strategic project management offices (SPMO) that enable effective implementation of organizational strategy through engagements, portfolios, programs, and projects. As part of the Stanford Advanced Project Management curriculum, this course combines the latest research from Stanford University with the world of practical strategy execution. Using innovative decision matrices, you will explore how to best adopt Strategic PMOs by design, not default. You will also focus on key factors for success, staffing, Strategic PMO activities, and the organizational infrastructure for the Strategic PMO. Special modules will analyze the importance of power and politics in creating and managing Strategic PMOs and the role of Strategic PMOs in supporting organizational change.
