There is a trend of growing interest in project delivery frameworks and PMOs in local government and the effective approach is mostly top down, but for some orgs this is not so. How do you push it upwards and how can this LGPro PM SIG support this? When and how can CEOs have a conversation around their project management experiences and how do we advocate for project management frameworks to get on their agenda – a ‘bottom up’ strategy.
