Forging the Future

Rapid advances in digital technology are fundamentally redefining our world. To build their future, organizations must be willing to actively interrupt their status quo. However, organizations that achieved significantly higher success with transformation projects (meaning 75% or more of the projects realized their intended benefits) cite involvement of the project management function as one of the top contributors to success.
