Virtual CMM + PMO vs. VCO: Navigating Two Powerhouses of Organizational Change
PMO vs. VCO: Navigating Two Powerhouses of Organizational Change
Project Management Offices (PMOs) have long been the backbone of structured project delivery. But in today’s fast-paced, private-equity-fueled environment, Value Creation Offices (VCOs) are emerging as powerful engines for growth, transformation, and operational excellence.
In this session, we’ll explore the purpose, structure, and career pathways of PMOs and VCOs—what makes them similar, what sets them apart, and how they work together to drive impact. Whether you’re a seasoned project manager, aspiring PMO leader, or curious about transformation roles in private equity-backed organizations, this session will give you the insight you need to chart your next career move.
By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
- Define the purpose and structure of both PMOs and VCOs within organizations.
- Compare and contrast the functions, leadership alignment, and typical roles of each.
- Identify career pathways, skills, and certifications commonly associated with PMO and VCO roles.
- Understand how PMOs and VCOs collaborate to deliver strategic value.
- Evaluate which path may align best with their personal strengths, career aspirations, and professional interests.
