Organizations are having to simplify, break molds, and remove resistance to delivering faster at scale. The Program Management Office (PMO) is the entity that can bring this leadership and provide ownership of what success looks like strategically for the enterprise.

In order to reach a 10X organization, leaders who understand the business and operational models and what enhancements they require are vital.

  • The pressure to reach a 10X plus organization is requiring leaders who understand the business and operational models and what enhancements are vital by using value-driven roadmaps;
  • Studies have shown that 95% of the decisions we make are the result of an intuitive approach and not of rational logic. Addressing program biases and enhancing experimentation will contribute to our sustained relevance of program management in the marketplace.

In this course, you will learn how organizations are having to simplify, break molds, and remove resistance to deliver programs faster at scale; how to get the PMO to take the lead in maintaining standards and enhancing the quality of our investment decisions and the proper cascading of those choices into successful execution measures. This will provide you with critical risk-based governance skills, a practical understanding of how to build hybrid program teams, solve specific issues, and how to contribute to building and driving learning and continuously improving future organizations.
