There is a significant increase in technology-driven project requests as Companies seek to leverage technology as a strategic asset by identifying Digital Transformation initiatives that focus on enhancing customer value, improving operational processes, and re-engineering business models. However, MIT/Capgemini identified Governance as a significant obstacle in successfully implementing these programs and associated projects. These projects are at risk of negatively impacting your business success if you have an ineffective or immature project alignment, process reinvention, and leadership excellence model. 

Governance processes in these three areas need to be aligned with a mature strategic project governance model that reduces enterprise risk, ensures total alignment in project selection/execution, and enables your business to accomplish its strategy, goals, and objectives.

This presentation will provide you with a new Strategic Project Governance Model 2.0, a methodology framework, case study examples, a maturity assessment tool, and an implementation approach that will improve your strategic project governance competency and enable you to successfully implement your programs and associated projects.
