About this webinar
In this special holiday edition, Mike Hannan brings his trademark mix of wisdom and humor to explore how PMOs can deliver real value. Using a Dickensian, Christmas-themed lens, the session looks at three “gifts” PMOs can give their organizations:
- Speed – unlocking faster delivery by focusing on the real constraints that matter.
- Reliability – building trust by making the right commitments and keeping them.
- Selection – ensuring investment decisions are guided by clear, value-driven criteria.
Along the way, Mike weaves in timeless lessons from A Christmas Carol—from Scrooge’s hard-nosed investor mindset to Bob Cratchit’s overworked struggle, and even the warnings of Jacob Marley—connecting these perspectives to the everyday challenges of PMO leaders.
The result is both thought-provoking and practical: a fresh look at how your PMO can inspire confidence, deliver impact, and spread a little holiday cheer while doing it.
