Causal Capital

This research-based webinar addresses governance and governmentality in the realm of PMOs. It starts by differentiating governance and governmentality from management and leadership, which is often mixed-up and causes confusion.

​

Subsequently, the main topics of the webinar are addressed, which are:

   a) the PMO as a governance institution for projects, programs and portfolios and the related practices, and

   b) governmentality as the complementary "soft" skill of governance, and its implementation practice.

​

The third part of the webinar provides a brief outline of the expected consequences that different approaches to governance and governmentality may cause for project results and ethical issues in projects.

​

Real life cases will be discussed and (online) tools for assessment and profiling of governance and governmentality approaches will be presented.

​
