Creating the Project Office

Participants in the UCSC Extension advanced course on the “Project Management Office” had ample opportunity to explore their environmental challenges, share questions with others, and prepare action plans on implementing a project office for organizational change.  They came with real questions and left with renewed understandings about the potential for anything from a Project Office of One (POO) to a Strategic Project Office (SPO).

Along the way we viewed movies and listened to sound clips, such as about animals in the zoo of the political jungle, learning from nature as a master and commander, and being the ring bearer to get the job done.

It now remains for them to go forth and apply these learnings.  I encourage them to post their comments about their journeys.
