PPSO SIG to Host ‘PPSO Competence and Competencies’ Event in March

Jan. 14, 2010 - PRLog -- The Programme & Project Support Office Specialist Interest Group (PPSOSIG) will host their first conference of the new decade this March.

The PMO focused group’s one day conference, entitled “PPSO Competence and Competencies: High Level Performance”, will take place 19th March at the Open University, Milton Keynes from 9.30am – 4.30pm. Details and information on booking a spot at the conference are available below.

The 17th conference from the PPSOSIG is focused on competency and how competencies affect careers within the PMO. The conference features peer consultations, presentations and interactive sessions combined with networking and discussion groups on key topics such as competence frameworks for the PMO, role profiles in the PMO and how competence and competencies are viewed and used in the real world. Each delegate will receive their own individual competence assessment and a copy of the APM Competence Framework. Feedback and discussion from the completed assessments will also be on offer during the conference.

“This is our first recession busting conference for 2010,” said Lindsay Scott, Director of Recruitment for Arras People, a long standing sponsor and member of the PPSOSIG. “The event is being hosted at the Open University and members from their PMO will also be sharing their experiences of devising a competency framework for PMO. The event is excellent value at £100 for a conference day packed with experts in the field of PMO.”

The PPSOSIG usually holds at least two conferences per year and has previously been graced by the presence of practitioners including Sue Vowler, Rod Sowden, John Zachar, Craig Kilford and many others. Information about previous events is available on the PPSOSIG web site (http://www.ppsosig.co.uk/index.html).
