The Business Case of a PMO

21 August 2025 | 08:00 – 09:00  CET | Live Virtual Webinar

Learn how to build, communicate, and defend the business case for launching or evolving a PMO—from individual PMOs to full PMO operating models. This session explores value framing, cost-benefit logic, PMO typologies, service alignment, and risk considerations, drawing on insights from AIPMO’s frameworks.

In this session, Dr. Robert Joslin will explore how PMOs can be positioned and justified as value-generating entities rather than administrative overhead. Drawing on decades of experience and AIPMO’s cutting-edge frameworks, he will guide participants through the essential elements of building and sustaining a compelling PMO business case.

The webinar will cover:

✅ Why PMOs are challenged to show value (with insights from the Kano Model)
✅ Why many PMOs struggle to justify their existence—and what happens when they don’t
✅ The value dimensions of a PMO: what value looks like across services and stakeholders
✅ What to include in a robust and defensible PMO business case
✅ How to align PMO services with measurable outcomes and strategic goals
✅ How business cases differ by PMO type (initiative-specific, enterprise, CoE, etc.)
✅ Common pitfalls in PMO justification and how to avoid them
✅ An overview of financial and analytical techniques to support your case
✅ A preview of the PMO Summit 2025 Masterclass, where these themes are explored in depth

Whether you’re creating your first PMO or evolving an existing one, this session offers key insights to ensure your business case is strong, strategic, and defensible.
