Workshop Description
In a context where organizations must create more value, faster, Project Management Offices (PMOs) are evolving toward a new role: becoming decision engines capable of amplifying strategic impact.
This interactive session will introduce the concept of 100X PMOs, an approach that combines Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM), artificial intelligence, and key metrics to generate a true multiplier effect on performance.
 
We will clarify the essential concepts behind SPM, demonstrate how AI enhances visibility, forecasting, and continuous optimization, and explain the role of traditional metrics alongside the concept of “discovered metrics”—emerging signals identified by AI to better anticipate value and risk.
The session will also outline the key success conditions required to deploy this approach at scale: data quality, instrumentation, adapted governance, and organizational adoption.
Through concrete examples, we will illustrate how these levers can be used to modernize PMOs and achieve significant gains in both value and velocity.
 
A discussion and Q&A period will allow participants to deepen the concepts and reflect on their own path toward becoming a 100X PMO.
