The customer-driven move toward total digital immersion has been happening for a while; a pandemic only accelerated it. So, is your organization truly digitally driven now? Here are six reasons why it better be … or be getting there fast.
While the pandemic has ushered in dramatic swings in demand and corresponding workloads, it has delivered targeted opportunities to address problems in our business operating models—some new, some persistent—that should not be ignored. Applying a simple strategic matrix leads us to four key directives.
PMO leaders have had to examine and challenge virtually every aspect of their functions, including vetting, managing and deploying projects, and managing portfolios. Keep these four tips in mind to help manage through uncertainty.
