About the event
Bristol Airport’s PMO has undergone a remarkable journey – from a one-person operation to a mature, business-critical function managing nearly 200 projects and £400 million of investment.
Meet Sarah Landen, Head of PMO at Bristol Airport who will share their story first-hand: the challenges of rapid growth, building credibility with the board, overcoming resistance to change, and achieving forecast accuracy within 5% through better processes, governance, and technology.
Power Framework, working closely with the PMO, implemented a Microsoft-based PPM solution that delivered a single source of truth, executive-ready dashboards, and AI-assisted risk and benefits management. The result is a transformed PMO that has strengthened business confidence and enabled more effective strategic delivery.
This event is a rare chance to see:
How a live PMO operates inside a fast-growing, complex organisation.
The real-world steps taken to implement Microsoft-based PPM tools, including adoption challenges and lessons learned.
