History has shown that having a competitive advantage is critical to the success and long-term viability of all organizations. To create and sustain such an advantage, organizations must formulate a winning strategy, surpass competitors at implementing and executing it, and excel at continuously adapting it in response to internal and external events. Although numerous best practices have been adopted by organizations over the years to help them succeed in their strategic endeavors, 50 to 90% of strategic endeavors are still considered failures. That is why we have spent 5 years devising an innovative approach to help organizations address the causes of the difficulties they face during their strategic efforts.
We live in times where the only constant is change. Efforts to shift to Digital Business and transformations are underway everywhere. It's no wonder that many of our members, especially analysts and project/portfolio managers, are trying to figure out where they'll go next in their careers and what types of skills they'll need to have continued success.
This webcast brings together three preeminent subject matter experts to provide you with insight into three disciplines that we believe have staying power and are potentially a good fit for you and your career.
