'Does your PMO deliver tick-box status reports or engaging stories?', presented by Dirk le Roux
Gauteng PMO Forum, Friday 19 May
Bryanston Country Club |
ABOUT THE PMO FORUM
The Gauteng PMO Forum is part of a series of forums presented by industry thought leaders. These invitation only forums are sponsored by Project Portfolio Office (PPO), and fall under the umbrella of Project Management South Africa (PMSA).
Attendance is limited to active PMO executives and leaders to ensure a consistent and appropriate level of interaction.Those who wish to participate as attendees or presenters are invited to follow the link below to have your name included on the invitation list:

The forum presents a regular opportunity for discussion and knowledge transfer by means of case studies, best practices, research outcomes and lessons learned presented by senior project professional and other knowledgeable individuals who form part of the forum or may be invited as presenters.
There are no costs involved for attendees. Each meeting is approximately 3 hours long and starts with registration and breakfast for an hour, followed by a specific topic where a subject matter expert introduces the topic in a 45-60 min talk. This is then followed by structured conversations around the topic in smaller groups. The remaining time is used for networking and / or Q&A.
ABOUT THE EVENT
An actively engaged executive sponsor is the top driver of projects meeting their original goals and business intent, and, yet there are still too few project sponsors that actually engage and understand the status of their projects. I’d go so far as to say that most project sponsors would probably not even miss the project status reports if you stopped sending them today! The time is now, to stop and question why the project status report, in its current format, completed as an administrative tick-box exercise is doing little to effectively engage our most crucial stakeholder.
Join us for our next event where Dirk le Roux, with years of experience in the role of project sponsor and senior business executive will share his perspective on what sponsors really want to hear when it comes to reporting project status! He will explore a novel reporting technique called SBAR (Situation Background Assessment Recommendation) by way of practical observations and insights that will help you to:
Equip your project managers with a new skill to communicate what really matters to their project sponsors
Move project managers away from delivering irrelevant project status reports to telling a compelling story
Adopt a reporting technique that changes the conversation, and as a result the relationship between the project manager, sponsor, owner and other key project stakeholders
