As you develop your PMO, ensure you have reasonable limits for the size of the project relative to the amount of PMO requirements. Example, 1 person project for 8 weeks, only internal labor certainly doesn't require the level of Project Management that an SAP deployment to 20,000 USERS over 8 countries, with hundreds of various project participants. In my experience, those working on projects vs. those in the PMO have vastly different opinions on the level of project management tools required per the size of the actual project. Every company will be different on what is appropriate, but I would recommend you start off with "light" PMO touch where you can or you will lose a lot of enthusiasm from non-PMO participants. It's a delicate balance of the right amount of tracking, and still getting the work done. If the labor hours for completing PMO paperwork exceed the hours working on the project something has gone horribly wrong.

How do you maintain alignment with your CEO on IT strategy and investment priorities? What's been most effective in building credibility as a strategic partner?

How are large professional services organisation deploying GPT4 (or similar LLMs) within their own organisation for internal use, particularly when using sensitive/confidential/PII data?

For example we're a UK based accountancy firm so have created our own internal app based on Microsoft's Open AI GPT4 model deployed to our private Azure hosting. We have built a custom app designed to "preprogramme" personas, i.e. pre-created prompts, for different areas of the profession, so internal users can have GPT4 act in different ways without prior knowledge of prompt engineering.

I would be interested to see how others are building or buying solutions, particularly those based in EU/UK who can't use OpenAI/ChatGPT for with customer/confidential information.
