Are you encountering these challenges?

Continuous Business Priority Changes and Technology Disruptions

This includes the impact of digitalization and frequent adjustments to business strategies, priorities, budgets, market conditions, and the competitive landscape. As changes in these areas keep accelerating, the ability for project priorities to stay in sync decays. Changing priorities was cited as the number one cause of project failure according to a study by the Project Management Institute.

Failed Business Initiatives

Projects provide the necessary change agent to achieve everything from mission-critical business transformation initiatives to tactical process improvement programs. Obviously, there is a high correlation between a poor track record of delivering business value and failed business initiatives.

Lost Productivity

This results from resources working on the wrong projects or projects that get “killed” in midstream due to change in business priorities.

Low Project Team Morale

Project teams want to work on meaningful projects. If teams don’t have a clear line of sight between their work and impact on strategic objectives, morale will suffer. This may further exacerbate productivity headwinds.
