We have been “professionalizing” and “standardizing” and “automating” our projects and programs for over a decade. Yet, the success rates of IT projects haven’t radically improved.

We don’t have the project leaders with the skills we need. Our improvement initiatives still meet high organizational resistance. PMOs implode at rates above 30% annually. Add to this mix the current and future business environment – highly uncertain and constantly changing.

This session will focus on the effects of all these factors on how the management of project-based work will need to change (and is changing) to address all of these factors. Don’t be surprised if some of what you believe is “best practice” or “common wisdom” will need to fall by the wayside to ensure your future success in this challenging environment.

Discussion Topics:

• Why the “one-size-fits-all” approach to project management needs to be replaced, and what will replace it.
• How PMOs will evolve from local compliance activities to enterprise level value.
• How PPM leaders can ensure their people, process and technology choices fit their organization

Presenter: Audrey L.Apfel, (LinkedIn profile) Managing VP
