Addressing Business &  Organizational Change

As Digital Transformation efforts sweep across Government and Corporate America, many enterprises are finding that the results of their Digital Transformation efforts are much less than expected.

A recent survey of one hundred Digital Transformation efforts internally measured using various criteria reported thirty percent of those efforts were deemed “successful.”

Corporations are finding that a key area of difficulty is analyzing the organization and how it needs to function in the digital world. Analyzing an organization today using standard techniques is little more than looking at the organization chart and “looking” for inefficiencies. In fact, the “traditional” organization chart tells us very little about how the organization actually functions.

In this webinar Samuel Holcman (LinkedIn profile) will present and describe some innovative techniques that can be used in analyzing how organizations need to address organizational transformation to provide successful digital transformations, beyond just technology change.

As a group, these techniques are described as part of B. (Business) I. (Information) O. (Organization) Transformation – BIO Transformation.

Research demonstrates over and over again that the life span of the typical PMO is incredibly short. On average, about two or three years.

What that means is that the organization creates a structure, finds it wanting, and abandons it—all within an astonishingly short time period.

While the averages are sobering, however, not all PMOs suffer the same fate. Some continue. Some are overwhelmingly successful.  Not many, perhaps, but enough.

In this webinar Mark Mullaly (LinkedIn profile) author of Researching the Value of Project Management  explores what sustainable, stable PMOs do differently to reach that vaunted status.

In this webinar, participants will:

• Understand the challenges of developing PMOs
• Explore the reasons that most PMOs don’t last
• Identify the critical success factors behind PMO success
• Evaluate what it takes to make the bridge from startup to stable

Agile was born from the necessity to adapt product development to market changes. In the 1990s Agile Enterprise, the Agility combined with Lean practices resulted in fast market release of products combined with efficiency delivered by waste reduction and improved development and build processes.

Using Lean Six Sigma for innovation brought efficacy and efficiency.

In any product development, systematical innovation is crucial to the competitiveness. Although TRIZ (Theory of Solving Inventive Problems) has been developed with special emphasis on manufacturing, it is after all an approach to product development and process improvement.

TRIZ proved useful in process problem solving, so it can be useful for all project management issues and activities.

In this webinar Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) will introduce some of the Lean Six Sigma TRIZ set of tools to combine Agility with Process Improvement practices as a way to deliver efficiency while embracing change.
