Projects@Work - Rockwell Automation Wins PMO of Year

Rockwell Automation’s PMO was selected from a field of more than 40 applicants that included state and federal agencies, major nonprofit organizations and Fortune 1000 companies. Runners-up included Alcatel-Lucent’s Global PMO; the Australian Securities Exchange’s enterprisewide PMO; Cisco Services’ Office of Strategy & Planning; and Regence’s Enterprise PMO.

“As organizations struggle to maximize budgets and human capital resources, project management offices play an even more critical role in initiating and completing the right projects, achieving measurable organizational ROI and successfully enforcing overall business strategies,” said Jim Pennypacker, director of the CBP. “Rockwell Automation’s Software Program Management Office is a leading example of the impact that a successful PMO can have when it’s designed and implemented well.”
