Prepare to Set Sail in the Choppy Waters of Digital Transformation
To cope with the massive digital transformation and disruption, organizations must broaden their toolset and adjust their mindset about how work gets done. Work and resource management can offer greater agility and alignment, but most organizations will have to alter their mindset about managing product portfolios, planning strategy, and improving collaboration in isolated silos. Projects should always be prioritized, scheduled, managed, and assessed in the context of their respective outcomes. Organizations must integrate work and resources to broaden resource planning, embrace unstructured work done both individually and in teams, and support diverse work methods and mobility to maximize productivity. To navigate all this change, organizations must shift to continuous planning to align goals with market realities, maximize virtual and global teams, leverage technology effectively to connect with customers, and support diverse work methods and mobility to maximize productivity.
