How leaders need to be agile, navigate political waters, manage incredible complexity, and align diverse stakeholders.
Envisioning a Program Roadmap that fits context and inspires commitment to continuously achieving value.
The culture for change making and the attributes for a healthy “change culture” including the future Power Skills. Also addressing the value proposition of program professionals in the future.
Impact of digitalization and Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the future of programs.
Creating the value-driven way of working and developing the value mindset coupled with the role of benefits management in programs and projects.
The PMO as the learning engine for the enterprise and the changing role of the program offices.
Becoming a Change Scientist, the maturing of value and strategic metrics in programs, and how to achieve the right metrics design and mix.
For program and project managers, practitioners, PMO leaders, students in project and program management courses, and those studying for project and program management certifications, Program Management is an essential mindset, skillset, and toolset for executing a strategic plan and providing synergy, consistency in managing change, and a greater focus on achieving what matters to customers and stakeholders.
