Join us on 17 February for a presentation on
THE STATE OF THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE IN THAILAND
by Kh. Arintra Punyayuttakan and join in the discussions
to see where you are and what you can do to improve
the PM practice in Thailand.
TOPIC: THE STATE OF THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE IN THAILAND
Project Management Office (PMO) is one of the project management best practices significantly introduced to organizations to ensure project achievement. In Thailand, though many PMOs have been instituted in the organizations for many years, they are still struggling in proposing values to the organizations. Services PMO provided do not meet project stakeholders' expectations and PMOs have got some obstacles in running it.
With courtesy of Graduate School of Management and Innovation, King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), 'The State of Project Management Office in Thailand' research was undertaken last year with project stakeholders who had been working with a PMO in various industries to solidify the aspects of PMO in Thailand and some context contributing to successful PMO.
This presentation will discuss the research results and insights into the PMO characteristics and the performed functions. In addition, the expectations of stakeholders, problems related to PMO and success criteria are also provided to be a guidance to improve Project Management Office in Thailand.
