Topic:

Have you recently found yourself either the owner of or a stakeholder in a corporate governance and compliance initiative? Are terms like ISO 9001-2000, 5900 Audit, SAS 70, Bill 198 and SOX causing your PMO team and your project managers more stress and workload than you thought possible? Where do you start? How do you gain acceptance from your team and executives? Where do you find answers? How do you ensure compliance BEFORE the auditor is in the door?

Project delivery teams are growing in importance as key drivers toward corporate governance and compliance with organizations spending increasingly significant amounts of capital and resources in projectized initiatives. Chances are if you haven’t had exposure to this type of corporate push, you likely will within the next few years as all publicly traded organizations are bound by strict governance practices and many more privately held organizations are joining the movement toward high quality service delivery and demonstrated corporate responsibility. These initiatives are more aligned with traditionally accepted PMO best practices and methodologies than you may think. Using what you know about project management and PMO compliance and audit practices will have you well positioned to effectively tackle these seemingly insurmountable corporate challenges.
