Early in 2020 APM analysed results of an online survey of project professionals involved in governance of change.

The results provide a roadmap of actions that we can take to further enhance this crucial role.

APM will share the finding and the recommendations from the sponsor survey including:

• The role of sponsors in the governance of change
• How well sponsors are held to account for successful outcomes of change
• The need for a sponsor competency framework
• Benefits of and approach to sponsor training
• Next steps for sponsorship in the project profession

This webinar is the first of an engagement series throughout July to present the results of the sponsor survey and discuss/debate the implications with project professionals with experience in these areas working in the Financial Services, Postal, Oil and Gas, and Transport sectors.

The APM Governance Specific Interest Group is engaged in improving investment outcomes through better governance of change, and promoting effective sponsorship is crucial in achieving this. They have a number of publications and support material available through the APM for sponsors to help them achieve more successful business outcomes from major change.
