Dear PM enthusiasts, members of PMI and friends,

Greetings and here's the invite to the next English Round Table for the project management professionals living in and around the city of Frankfurt. With this event we intend to facilitate exchange between PMs, and we will talk about Project & Program Management related topic in the Organization.

This meeting will allow you to discuss on any of the project management related topics or questions in your project, program, organization, or your day-to-day activities. Our volunteer team from the PMI Germany Chapter will be available to facilitate the discussion.

Topic: Strategic PMO - Lessons from the trenches (Online session)

When strategy meets execution, the PMO becomes more than an oversight function — it becomes an enterprise enabler.

Drawing from the realities of running a Strategic PMO, the session will explore the shift from operational oversight to enterprise impact and the role PMOs can play in connecting strategy, value and execution.

Key Takeaways

Participants will explore how Strategic PMOs can:

Shift from operational oversight to enterprise impact.
Act as strategic connectors.
Prioritize value-driven initiatives.
Serve as early warning systems for risks and misalignment.

What to expect?
Join us for an open and interactive roundtable where we'll dive into a selected topic relevant to project management. You'll have the opportunity to share insights, exchange experiences, and learn from each other in an informal and engaging setting.

Have a burning question or idea?
We welcome your contributions! Bring Your Own Question (BYOQ) and help shape the discussion.

Whether you're a regular or it's your first time attending, this is a great opportunity to connect with fellow professionals, expand your network, and gain new perspectives.

As we are an international team, the language of the event is English, and the questions can be discussed in German if required.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
