Programs fail before they start, and there is a good reason for that. The relationships amongst portfolio, programs, and projects are not understood well nor is the role of programs in achieving change aspirations.

  • Today nearly 70% of Digital Transformation programs fail and the reasons seem to be addressed as a guessing game;
  • The likelihood of being in the 30% successful bucket hinges on the leadership qualities of the program team and the clear program’s vision and purpose supported by value-driven roadmaps.

In this course, you will learn key program management principles, leadership skills, roles, mechanics, and supporting cultural attributes. This will provide you, over four weeks, the foundational understanding of the program management role in executing strategies, developing an exploring mindset, and uncover program management fundamental toolsets, such as the Work Breakdown Structure, and skill sets, such as customer focus, applied in the real world.
