Modern Project Leadership: Creating Value Beyond Delivery
Strong execution can keep a project on track. The harder test is knowing what to do when the plan, stakeholder needs and business value diverge.
Episode Overview
Project leaders are being asked to do more than deliver on time and on budget. They need to understand business strategy, connect teams to measurable value, adapt when conditions change, and use judgment when the plan no longer fits the moment. How can project leaders make better trade-offs when priorities compete? When should established processes or governance approaches bend in pursuit of business value? And how can they build alignment and influence when authority is distributed across stakeholders and teams? We discuss this with Tyler Norman, MBA, PMP, PgMP, PfMP, director of strategic supply chain programs at Scholastic, and Adeola Jeremiah, PMP, head of PMO at VistaVu Solutions.
