In collaboration with the Latvian National Project Management Association and EPMA – Estonian Project Management Association

We are pleased to announce a virtual national benchmarking workshop taking place on December 15 (online), 15:00–17:00 Latvia/Estonia time, bringing together PMO leaders and sector representatives from across Latvia. This session focuses on establishing a national PMO maturity baseline, supported by real-time insights from the Latvia & Estonia PMO-MI® Dashboard.

During this two-hour virtual session, participants will:

✔️ Understand how the PMO-MI® Maturity Model provides a structured lens for assessing PMO capability and contribution
✔️ Interpret national maturity results at both overall and service-domain levels
✔️ Identify sector strengths, weaknesses, barriers, opportunities, and systemic capability gaps
✔️ Prioritize actionable initiatives that can be supported by IPMA Latvia, AIPMO, and consulting partners
✔️ Nominate sector representatives for follow-up actions

Agenda Highlights

15:00 – 15:10
Welcome & Briefing
Overview of the PMO-MI model, purpose of the national initiative, workshop structure.

15:10 – 15:40
Assessment Completion & National Dashboard Review

Each sector presents a 1–2 slide summary and nominates a sector initiative lead.

16:50 – 17:00
Next Steps
Summary of findings, confirmation of follow-up actions, and outline of continued collaboration with IPMA Latvia and AIPMO.

🎯 Expected Outcomes

• A defensible national PMO maturity baseline for Latvia
• Sector-level diagnostic insights
• Concrete, actionable sector initiatives tied to key maturity drivers
• Nominated sector representatives for continued implementation
• A repeatable national benchmarking mechanism supporting long-term capability development

This virtual workshop is part of a global PMO benchmarking initiative now underway across 18 PMO-MI countries, with more joining every month. The Latvia session is also open to colleagues in Estonia and Lithuania, as well as participants from other countries. Individual professionals interested in benchmarking and shared insights are welcome to join as well.
