Running a PMO World Cafe

Running a PMO World Cafe

People that know me, know that I love everything to do with PMOs (geek, I know) and I regularly volunteer for the Association for Project Management’s PMO Specific Interest Group – especially helping put on local events where PMO practitioners can get together in an evening. Often it’s a guest speaker for the evening and a few Q&As afterwards, but there’s one thing I’ve learnt about PMO people – they love getting together with other PMO people and comparing notes. It’s not like being a Project Manager, often there may only be one PMO person in the whole organisation – so where do they get the support, advice and learnings from? With this in mind we decided to go with something more interactive, whilst at the same time making sure everyone got chance to speak and find out about other delegates. That’s why we chose the World Cafe idea. What is a World Cafe? If you’re not familiar with the concept of a World Café, the whole idea is about bringing people together that have a mutual interest in a certain topic; making the environment a little less formal than a “business meeting”; keeping the groups small (up to 5 people per table) and setting a time limit on how long a particular topic can be discussed.
