Craig's meandering thoughts: The things to not forget as you implement or re-energise your Portfolio Office.

1. Meandering thoughts: Things to not forget when you’re implementing or
re-energising a Portfolio Office
By Craig Kilford

2. You are a cost, absolutely everything a Portfolio Office does must add value
(never ever, ever forget this!)

3. X-ray before you operate

4. Identify the great things you do already (and the not so great)

5. Find out what people think of you

6. What people perceive about your Portfolio Office is reality

7. It’s not about “communication” anymore…its about “conversation”

8. Collaborate!

9. Understand your own capability

10. Would you let a non-dentist give you root canal surgery?

11. Energise people, get them excited about this stuff

12. Create a shared “as-is” and “to-be” state for your Portfolio Office
(Craig’s portfolio painting workshops will help you with this)

13. Every PMO product must look Great, be Usable, Clear, Concise and
Informative….(and sexy)

14. “Would like to meet VGL P3O for LTR, must have VGSOH, NS & ND with
OHAC for LOFAPS maybe even BDSM”… (acronyms really suck)

15. Life is just too short

16. This stuff is new for some people, smile and help them.

17. Measure PMO happiness regularly (I’m not joking, do it, it’s important!)

18. Always wear amazing shoes and fabulous socks (yes these are mine)

19. Suggest a presentation subject by emailing
