PMO of the Year Award

PMO of the Year Award

The winner of this category has now been announced. Congratulations to all our finalists in this category.

Rewarding the commitment of portfolio, programme and project management offices (PMOs) to developing not only their organisation across all facets of project management but also their emerging industry through innovative and thoughtful ways of working.

This category is designed for those PMOs that want to stand out as a beacon of driving project success and project management maturity in the way that they enable their organisations to deliver successful and sustainable change, develop project community and challenge themselves to become trusted business partners.

The judges are looking for evidence of a PMO’s positive contribution to their organisation, delivery of consistent and demonstrable outcomes and development of the project management capability and community.

We require entrants to this category to produce a submission of up to 1,500–2,500 words (in English) based on the judging criteria. Entrants may also submit up to four supporting images or graphics only (no text apart from captions). Video and audio is not accepted as part of the submission.

The PMO of the Year Award consists of two stages, the first stage being the written submission mentioned above and the second stage requires all finalists to present virtually to a panel of judges. It is open to organisations across all sectors globally.

The Project Delivery & Improvement PMO operates within the national funding agency, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), which invests in science and research. Over the last year we have transformed how we support UKRI, resulting in a 100% success rate in getting major project business cases approved through Government approvals first time, and a significant increase in P3M3 maturity from level 2 to level 3.

Alongside delivering over 300 projects and programmes, we have equipped our organisation to become better at project delivery through a Portfolio Management approach, new tools, a centralised hub, and providing over 250 hours of CPD.
