About the training
#VUCA #digital #project management #strategy implementation
Traditionally, the business has been run and structured hierarchically with management focused on how to run and optimize (efficiently) the business best. Today, due to the speed of change witnessed in recent years, this model has become obsolete. Change requires a different approach and Project Management is thus becoming an essential part of the way organizations (must) work.
Research reveals that many organizations fail when implementing their strategic initiatives, wasting millions of dollars, and missing exceptional growth opportunities. Leading transversal projects successfully has become a critical skill for senior executives and middle management.
