Course description

THE CONFERENCE

In a world of increasing complexity and demand for value-driven outcomes, organizations can no longer rely on ad hoc project delivery. Maturity in managing portfolios, programmes, and projects has become a strategic differentiator for high-performing institutions across sectors.

The P3M3 Summit 2025 is a high-impact event designed for executives, PMO leaders, program directors, portfolio managers, and institutional decision-makers committed to building a robust project delivery ecosystem. Rooted in the Portfolio, Programme, and Project Management Maturity Model (P3M3), the summit provides a comprehensive platform to assess, benchmark, and enhance organizational maturity.

Under the theme “Advancing Organizational Performance through Maturity in Portfolio, Programme and Project Management,” this summit will explore how maturity assessments drive performance improvements, resource optimization, and governance excellence across the project lifecycle.

Through thought leadership, case studies, and practical workshops, participants will gain the insights and tools needed to move from fragmented practices to institutionalized, scalable delivery capabilities.

By the end of this summit, participants will be able to:

§  understand the structure and dimensions of the P3M3 framework;

§  assess their organization's maturity across portfolio, programme, and project domains;

§  identify maturity gaps and develop targeted improvement strategies;

§  align maturity growth with organizational goals and strategic priorities;

§  integrate governance, risk, and resource management into delivery practices;

§  benchmark performance using global standards and best practices;

§  strengthen the role of the PMO as a maturity enabler; and

§  develop a roadmap for institutionalizing mature project delivery culture
