One of the masterclasses that I found very interesting was titled “Unlocking the Future of Your PMO with the Next-Generation PMO Value Scorecard Approach" led by Americo Pinto, PMO Global Alliance CEO and Founder. The insights shared by Americo Pinto were nothing short of exceptional. As a pioneering figure in the project management industry, his expertise and vision illuminated the path towards achieving organisational excellence through agile and adaptive PMOs. Another masterclass that I found fascinating was titled “The Pillers for Organisational Excellence” led jointly by Dr. Al Zeitoun and Dr. Ricardo Vargas. They have shared great insights on how engaging people while utilising technology can create a culture that will drive the organisation towards prosperity and excellence.

One particular panel discussion that stood out to me was titled “Leading and Managing Innovation Projects.” The session featured industry experts sharing their various experiences in cultivating innovation within project management. The panellists explored ways to foster a culture of creativity, enabling organisations to stay at the forefront of their respective industries.
