This is a group workshop aimed at improving the way that your organisation approaches learning lessons from its delivery experience, to improve the way this is done across all projects.
Do you feel that your organisation’s approach to lessons learned needs a refresh?
Are you trying to make changes but not getting much traction?
Then you need The PMO Professionals to help you Leapfrog your learning!
What we do

Identify
Provide a safe space for the team to inspect and characterise the organisation’s approach to lessons learned.

Evaluate
We’ll sift through those observations, evaluate the organisation’s approach, what is helping and what is hindering.

Act
We’ll help you to create action plans that will make real and lasting improvements to your lessons learned approach – and get people to take ownership of those actions.

Embed
We can hold a follow up session – typically 6 months after the initial workshop – to evaluate progress to date on the agreed actions.
And more...
- Pre-session consultation (up to 1 hour)
- 45 minute presentation for up to 12 people (with paper handouts for each attendee)
- Facilitated ~2h workshop for up to 12 people
- Produce a report listing key outcomes, with images from the workshop.
- Create a web portal containing all actions from workshop, with follow-up “nudges” to prompt action from action owners (remains live for 12 months after workshop).
- (Optionally) hold a follow-up session to evaluate progress on the actions.
- Participants can receive a copy of "Learning lessons from projects" by Ken Burrell - a book full of practical tips on how to embed learning into their day-to-day work.
What clients say
“I saw Ken speak on Learning Lessons at Project Challenge in London.
I was impressed with his delivery style and totally sold on the message.
So I invited Ken to host a workshop at HSSMI to fire up the interest and encourage our project engineers to think more about the process and thinking behind lessons learned.
A very engaging afternoon for all, with some very specific, dare I say ‘pragmatic’ take-away actions for me and the team to implement.
Great job Ken, Thanks!”

What sets us apart
We work on an outcomes basis
We don’t need a desk in your office or any equipment - we've got that covered.
Day to day, we will keep in touch regularly using online conferencing and asynchronous collaboration tools. We can provide a face to face option where necessary, to achieve a specific outcome.
So whether you’re keen to minimise your facilities footprint, or you're operating across multiple time zones - you can benefit from our services regardless of your physical location.
We deliver, then we depart
When you engage with us to achieve a particular outcome, we’ll agree with you how this will be delivered using a statement of work with clear milestones, metrics and measures.
Then we’ll work with laser focus to deliver that outcome.
When it’s done we’ll carry out any agreed knowledge transfer - and then we’ll move on.
We are self starters
Once we’ve all agreed what’s needed, we’ll get to work!
We will keep you updated throughout, and you can expect us to put in as much effort as is needed to deliver results.
Because let’s face it - it’s results you need, not more management overhead, right?
And if those results happen sooner than expected, rest assured that we won’t conjure up more work to bill you for.
