There are many ways in which Agile adoption is attempted at the Enterprise level.

In the last decade, the most common approach is scaling up Team oriented frameworks, like Scrum, to entire Business Units and later to the entire enterprise.

Little known or not mentioned, most of the concepts and Agile practices originated in the late 1970s (or even earlier) when the work environment was transformed by the introduction of the (personal) computer in the workplace – first as the ‘brain’ of machine tools and later as an office tool.

Agile transformation is an Organizational Change, it follows the rules of any Business Transformation and needs Executive support in order to succeed.

This webinar is a presentation of the Agile transformation that  In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) was involved in, focusing on the role and the importance of executive support in Agile adoption.

Generative AI (GenAI) has the potential to transform the customer service and support function, but transformation is never quick or easy.

Media outlets, technology optimists and vendors have hyped the potential for rapid change in service and support, perpetuating a myth of GenAI as a cure-all with low barriers to adoption.

The reality is far more challenging. Unfortunately, many leaders underestimate the resource-intensive prerequisites essential for a successful deployment.

While leaders can quickly and cheaply buy into GenAI capabilities, doing so typically offers only incremental productivity gains. Worse yet, poorly designed capabilities risk damaging the customer experience. Leaders must recognize that a host of elements must be aligned before a potentially transformative GenAI use case can deliver results.

Working with early adopters of GenAI, Gartner identified 11 dimensions of readiness. Join this complimentary Gartner customer service and support webinar as Gartner experts will help service leaders determine which types of use cases they are ready for and which need more organizational maturity before being pursued.

Discussion Topics:

  • Find out how customer service and support organizations successfully deploy GenAI
  • Assess your organization against 11 dimensions of readiness
  • Evaluate your readiness for GenAI use cases

Learning objectives:

  • Defining the features and the external and internal environmental factors of a complex and strategic project,
  • Developing a systematic and formalized multi-criteria decision-making process based on strategic risk analysis in a complex project environment,
  • Identifying and analyzing project risks throughout the project life-cycle in parallel with the project management

A complex project may have a very long and multiple phased life-cycle, a large number of stakeholders within a complex organizational plan, a complex resource management, technical complexities, contractual complexities and macro-environmental factors.

On the other hand, complex projects signify a strategic importance for the project stakeholders in terms of their business strategy, brand image, financial and economic opportunities.

Managing a complex and strategic project requires, in its life-cycle, a specific organization and a specific approach in order to reach the project objectives in terms of cost, time and project performance.

The complexity of a project leads to the existence of interdependent risks, hard to anticipate and keep under control. For complex and strategic projects, it is necessary to identify and assess all the potential risks and opportunities through the whole project life-cycle, and develop action plans to mitigate, eliminate or transfer negative risks.

However, in the early phases of a project, it is difficult to identify and assess project risks. While front end planning is important, not all events and scenarios can be foreseen when the project can take several years to complete and may involve many companies and stakeholders.

In this stage of the project, a strategic and environmental analysis is indispensable for identifying and analyzing the major risk factors for taking a strategic decision about the project. In this study, a formalized Multi-criteria decision making process is developed based on a strategic risk analysis in complex environment.

The external and internal environmental risk and opportunity factors are analyzed in a systematic approach in order to take a strategic decision at three key-steps of the project:

  1. At a very early stage and at a strategic level, to consider the opportunity of affecting some resources to a given (possible) project,
  2. Later, when they need to decide, after preliminary studies, if it will effectively consider the project and mobilize its engineers for detailed studies,
  3. Before the contracting phase in order to develop risk allocation plan and negotiate it with the project customer.
