A value-creating PMO is a business imperative, not just a PM function

Join us for the PM4Real event on Wednesday, January 29, 2025 at 5 p.m. This time's guest will be Gregor Androjna, a recognized expert in the field of project management and establishment of project offices (PMO). With more than 20 years of experience gained in the fields of energy production, mechanical systems and production line assembly, Gregor has become one of the leading consultants for organizations that want to optimize their projects, portfolios and strategic goals.

Event description: Projects are not just about meeting goals within time, scope and cost. The true value of projects only becomes apparent when their results are used and bring business benefits. However, often challenges such as overload, poor communication, resistance to change and unclear goals affect the success of projects and the satisfaction of all involved.

At this event, we will explore how to align project management with business strategy and how to use the golden triangle – project management, change management and leadership – to achieve optimal results. We will learn how a project management office (PMO) can create value for an organization, connect project teams and management, and ensure that the right things are done the right way.

About the lecturer:

Using the innovative Impact Engine System methodology developed by PMO Strategies, Gregor helps organizations identify and solve fundamental challenges and implement practices that bring measurable results. His approach involves combining technical knowledge, management skills and a human approach to overcome obstacles and achieve optimal productivity and performance.

Gregor is passionate about transforming complex processes into effective solutions that create value for both individuals and organizations. At the PM4Real event, he will share with us his experience, strategies and approaches for aligning project management with long-term business goals. Join us and gain insight into project management best practices with an appreciation for the human and business aspects of projects.

The event will take place in a hybrid format:

• Physically: A1 Ameriska Ulica 4

How to successfully manage remote projects and overcome communication challenges on platforms such as Teams?

Join us for the PM4Real event on Thursday, November 21, 2024 at 5 p.m. This time's guest will be Nikolaj Candellari, an experienced project manager and leading data analyst at CyberGrid. The event, which will take place both in the premises of A1 Ameriška ulica 4, 1000 Ljubljana and via the Teams online platform, offers an opportunity to gain insight into the challenges and practices of remote project management and includes topics such as analytics, data modeling and energy. For anyone planning to attend live, parking is available in the DiVino restaurant or IKEA parking lot.

We associate project management with meetings, status updates and work on location. After the pandemic, however, the principle of remote project management is appearing more and more often, in which project managers direct their teams and check their progress only via communication platforms from the home office. At our next meeting, we will check why this form of project management is on the rise, under what conditions it is even feasible, and what are the experiences of project managers in such a position. Finally, we will compare the positive and negative sides of this type of work and open a debate about good practices.

About the lecturer:

Nikolaj Candellari is a project manager and lead data analyst at CyberGrid. His primary responsibilities include managing a commercial project in Bulgaria and the EU-funded InterSTORE research and development project. Previously, Nikolaj worked as a data analyst in the banking system, where he became interested in data modeling. This prompted him to start modeling the energy market within CyberGrid's analytics team. Nikolaj graduated in financial mathematics and recently completed a master's degree in applied statistics at the University of Ljubljana. He came into contact with PMI Slovenia - Ljubljana Chapter this year mainly because of his interest in obtaining a CAPM license.
