Connecting PMO and portfolio data to the digital future webinar

Exploring the future of digital PMO and how teams are modernising portfolio management, this session on Monday 9 November unpacked the shift toward connected, governed, real-time ways of working.

This was a joint webinar from the APM AI and Data Analytics, APM Built Environment, APM PMO and APM Portfolio Management Interest Networks.

Across PMO, portfolio management, built environment, and data and analytics functions, the same challenge persists: information is fragmented across spreadsheets, disconnected systems, and manual reporting cycles. As portfolios grow in complexity and AI adoption accelerates, the ability to govern data, workflows, and decisions in one connected environment is becoming a defining capability for high-performing organisations.

This session heard perspectives on what digital transformation actually looks like inside modern PMO and portfolio functions, moving beyond static reporting and siloed tools toward real-time visibility, structured governance, and automated workflows.

Attendees explored:

• Why fragmented, manual processes remain the biggest barrier to portfolio-level control
• How governed AI and automation are reshaping reporting, assurance, and decision-making
• What a connected, real-time operating model looks like in practice across complex programme
• How organisations are building the foundations now for AI-driven PMO and portfolio management.

Whether you lead a PMO function, manage a portfolio, work across built environment delivery, or are focused on data and analytics, this session delivered practical insight into where the industry is heading and how to prepare your organisation for what's next.
