If your PMO or transformation efforts are not delivering the results expected, your operating model may be the reason.
What You’ll Learn:
– Where value is leaking in your delivery system — and why
– Why decisions slow down — and how to get them moving again
– How too much work in progress is limiting your results
– What to change to move faster — with less effort and less waste
This is not another theory session.
This is a working session built from real transformation experience, designed to give you something you can apply on Monday morning.
