Techniques to Improve Organizational Agility

Beschreibung

Organizations must change or be left behind.

They must sense, respond, and provide for customers' current and future needs while concurrently adopting new technologies, innovations, and ideas ... all without missing a beat.

No pressure, right?

That's why it's important to grasp concepts that bring out the best in your people, to help them learn, lead, and conquer new challenges.

It all comes down to creating an environment that works for your team and building an organization that can bend with the winds of change and guide the ship through any storm.

Bottom line: We all need to be agile. Not just delivery and operations teams, but portfolio and program management teams as well.

After over three decades of providing project, program, and portfolio management support to many organizations, Jim Carilli wrote Program Management Redefined: Techniques to Improve Organizational Agility as an opportunity to give back to the profession that has served him so well throughout his career by helping organizations run smoothly and successfully.

Through his experiences, he has seen first-hand the evolution of organizational agility and the direct and tangible benefits provided by today's practices to those organizations that employ them.

Program Management Redefined shares those discoveries to help others in program management and associated disciplines with new ideas so you may reap the benefits agile practices provide.

"An excellent and unique approach to program management by Dr. Carilli. I'm sure this work will become a benchmark in the industry." - Mike Sutton, PMP, Lead Project Manager EPA Enterprise Content Management System (Ret.)

"With such limited agile guidance for programs, it is refreshing to see a contemporary approach to program management." - Mike Harkins, Agile Transformation Coach with certifications from Scrum.org, Scrum Alliance, and SAFe; Founder of The Harkins Leadership Group
