This document outlines a strategic approach for telecom companies to make accurate decisions after an unplanned service outage. It discusses:
1) The need to plan for uncertainty and have a crisis management team to handle outages.
2) The importance of identifying all services, their revenue potential, and stakeholders to understand the full business impact of an outage.
3) Creating a "Service Impact Matrix" during planning that documents each service's subscribers, revenue, and costs if disrupted, to facilitate rapid decision making during a crisis.
4) Steps for handling an outage including consolidating affected services, outage details, and calculating total estimated revenue loss to determine the best option of delaying, proceeding or reverting to

13 Reasons Why Your Organization Needs Project Portfolio Management BrightWork
When implemented effectively, project portfolio management helps to improve project management processes and methods, reducing project failures and improving customer satisfaction. Here are 13 reasons why your organization needs project portfolio management.
Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities in order to meet, or exceed, stakeholder needs and expectations from a project (Kerzner, 1992), In addition, it is commonly stated that project management is the planning, organizing, directing, and controlling of the resources fore a relatively short-term objective that has been established to complete specific goals and objectives. Project management uses the systems approach to management by having functional personnel, that is, a vertical hierarchy assigned to each specific project within a horizontal hierarchy (Pinto, J. & Slevin, 1988).
Presenting a mental framework for strategic analysis of project portfolios in an organization. The example used is IT-Business alignment, but many components of this framework may be used in other applications.

Project prioritization becomes more strategici-nexus
Very few organizations have the luxury of committing to a range of projects without having an effective way of prioritizing these. One could argue that this issue is more likely to be experienced by organizations that are relatively immature in their operational excellence or strategy execution journey. We’re not necessarily finding that. As companies continue to look to cut waste, improve efficiencies and improve the effectiveness of their strategy processes, project prioritization has become a hot topic.
Forward-looking organisations make a considerable investment - in adopting formal procedures and standards and in training managers and specialist staff - to ensure that they have the skills and techniques for managing change. Moreover they create a culture that encourages change, values experience and rewards innovation.
One of the most effective ways of achieving change and exploiting opportunities is the delivery of carefully planned projects. The management of projects is also a key building block in the development of many people’s careers. A good project manager will usually be a good general manager. The reverse does not always apply.
This document highlights the interdependence between managing a major programme of change and the disciplines of project management and change management. It is derived from our generic approach to achieving substantial step-changes in large organisations and needs further development and refinement to fit the particular circumstances of each situation.

Accurate estimations helps project managers to maintain a well-organized project timeline. By having a clear understanding of the time required for testing activities, realistic schedules can be developed, ensuring effective coordination with development and other project tasks.
In today's environment, few core competencies are as important as how change is managed. What is your organisation’s level of maturity in change management? In 2004, Prosci first released the Change Management Maturity Model, describing five different levels of organisational change management maturity. That model has been extended to a full-blown Maturity Model Audit that allows you to determine your organisation’s overall maturity and your maturity in five key capability areas: Leadership, Application, Competencies, Standardization and Socialization. This webinar introduces the framework and tool to evaluate where you are today and how to advance the capability in your organisation.
This document discusses organizational project management maturity assessments. It provides an overview of the purpose and objectives of assessments, which are to evaluate an organization's project management practices, identify gaps, and provide recommendations to improve capabilities. A five-level model is described that organizations can use to stage continuous improvements, from informal practices to optimized processes. Conducting regular assessments can help organizations benchmark progress and prioritize further developments.
Creating Competitive Advantage with Strategic Execution Capability V1.0Jon Hughes
The document discusses the Strategic Execution Framework (SEF), which is a model that helps organizations align strategy creation with execution by assessing six key capabilities: Ideation, Nature, Vision, Engagement, Synthesis, and Transition (INVEST). Conducting a diagnostic using the SEF can identify strengths and weaknesses in these capabilities and their linkages. Addressing weaknesses through initiatives to develop capabilities can help organizations more effectively execute strategies and gain competitive advantage. Common weaknesses identified include a lack of understanding interrelationships between capabilities, poor synthesis of strategies into coordinated programs and projects, and an inability to transition projects to operations.
Strategic planning is an art of formulating strategies, implementing and evaluating them. Equipping leaders and managers with skills such as problem solving, communication,critical thinking, decision making and leadership that are required to plan strategically in a competitive business environment.

Ken Martin has extensive experience in business, IT, and project management across several large companies. He discusses the benefits of project portfolio management (PPM), which include improved alignment with business strategy, visibility and control, collaboration, pipeline and resource management, financial management, and risk management. Without effective PPM, organizations can experience issues like approving projects that don't meet strategic needs, not having clear priorities, and overallocating resources. Key actions for implementing PPM include gaining stakeholder alignment, obtaining management support, developing a framework, and deciding on tools and reporting. The PPM process involves gathering all project data, prioritizing projects, assigning resources, and ongoing monitoring.

Hr professionals guide to business transformationMaven
Change management and specifically large-scale organisational change or business transformation initiatives are dominating the activities of many organisations. In the most recent Trends in Business Transformation survey 84% of European managers viewed transformation as the norm and were involved in a new business transformation programme on average every 6 months.
This document discusses why change management is important for organizations. It notes that having a structured approach to managing change allows an organization to adapt to a volatile environment, lead change rather than fall behind, and realize benefits like return on investment, quality outcomes, and efficient use of resources. The document also outlines some costs of implementing change management, such as investing in training and reducing business-as-usual work. It provides quotes emphasizing the need for organizations to embrace change and have policies in place to initiate, introduce, and balance change with continuity.
Corporate storytelling can help bridge the gap between senior managers' strategic visions and workforce delivery of strategic goals. Stories have the power to motivate and inspire loyalty during periods of change when rational approaches are less effective. A corporate story is a narrative that instructs an audience and creates a memorable message to paint a compelling picture of the future, address current problems, and enable career advancement as organizations work to implement transformational change across all levels of staff.

Appointments to these roles should consider the individual's availability, competence, viewpoint, credibility, and

This document discusses the growing demand for skills in business transformation and change management. It outlines that 84% of European managers are involved in business transformation initiatives every 6 months on average. There is high demand for transformation consultants and jobs requiring change management skills are growing. The document defines the key skills needed for successful business transformation, such as communicating objectives, ensuring staff understanding and acceptance of changes, and avoiding slippages in implementation.

The client's business was requesting new systems and procedures from IT and operations without approval from senior managers, resulting in a lack of planning and oversight over multiple projects. To address this structural issue, Maven conducted a project maturity assessment comparing the client's current project management capabilities to best practices. Maven produced a report that identified improvements that could be implemented quickly to provide the client's executive team with clearer authorization over changes and expected results.
Maven was asked to provide training to senior managers on project, programme, and portfolio management. They developed a four week interactive training programme to help managers articulate changes and identify dependencies between projects. Discussions identified projects that would be better as a programme, but senior managers still lacked programme management understanding. Maven provided a specialist to bring projects together into a programme and mentor a project manager to become the programme manager over six months. As a result, the programme is now underway with several projects delivered and positive customer feedback received. The senior managers have learned to identify opportunities where programme management can help manage interdependent projects more effectively.
The head of business transformation at an insurance company found that over 80 IT systems and process improvement projects lacked defined business cases or benefits. Projects were approved based on who proposed them rather than strategic objectives. Individuals were assigned to up to 17 projects each. Maven assessed the organization's project management maturity as between zero and one. They created a prioritized project portfolio and identified resource gaps. A new governance framework was implemented for overall project control. Initially some struggled with the new framework prioritizing organizational needs over individual needs, but within months it was embedded. Senior management now have comprehensive visibility of initiatives and approve new ones based on agreed criteria,
A global charity hired Maven to develop a competency assessment model and training program for their project managers. Maven reviewed models from PMI and IPMA and created a shorter assessment based on the IPMA framework that could be used globally. They then created a range of tailored training courses for different project roles, including an overview course and more comprehensive training for project managers. The training program was rolled out globally and well received, and Maven further supported it by creating an internal website with course materials and project resources.
The client had 60 staff working on telecommunications projects but they lacked consistent project management skills despite training. Project delivery times varied depending on who was assigned. Maven conducted competency assessments of staff through interviews and observations. They reported recommendations to group skills, assign resources based on a new matrix, address gaps through training, and hire temporarily for critical gaps. As a result, project delivery times decreased, expectations could be set more realistically with customers, and new business revenue identification became more structured.
The Programme Director realized that existing project processes focused on delivery but provided little guidance for planning and implementing business changes. Discussions with managers found a low understanding of change management, with many believing changes were the sole responsibility of project managers. Maven developed a business transformation framework similar to the project framework in use. Workshops communicated a standard set of change activities that could be applied across projects and programmes, and participants took ownership of the outputs and creating their business change lifecycle. The framework has now been implemented across the organization and is becoming accepted practice, with reference to it appearing in other initiatives.
Maven was asked to develop a communications and stakeholder engagement program for a major manufacturer undergoing a business transformation. The program included workshops and courses at three levels: for senior managers to lead change, for managers to manage change implementation, and for impacted employees to understand and participate in changes. Participants created personal action plans to engage with changes. The program increased support for transformations in the finance department and will be rolled out to purchasing using maturity assessments.
Maven was commissioned by a large automobile company to assess how well it had managed a recent business transformation involving a change in ownership and new ERP system implementation. Maven interviewed key individuals using its Change Experience Checklist and produced a report summarizing its findings, including a baseline of the company's change management capabilities and recommendations to address in future change plans. The report provided division heads insight into staff perceptions and awareness of changes to help predict and manage resistance during an ambitious growth transformation program.
The client was not effectively realizing the benefits of its projects even though it had a project management methodology. Benefits were documented but not measured after projects went live, and no one was responsible for ensuring benefits were achieved. Maven devised an approach to benefits management for the client that relied on project and change managers working with business managers. Maven held workshops to explain the benefits management framework and identify activities needed within projects and businesses to define, measure, and achieve benefits. Maven also developed a guide on benefits management that is now used for training and discussions on projects to ensure benefits are realized.
Senior management at a large university knew there were issues delivering projects on time due to a lack of resources. Many projects were months late causing low customer satisfaction. An assessment found many initiatives underway without senior managers' awareness. In response, a governance framework was created including processes to escalate project requests to senior levels for visibility of resource usage and skills needed. Work was also done to reprioritize projects and communicate delays and improvement actions to sponsors.
This document provides guidance on managing a change initiative through a four step process: assessing the change, planning the change, implementing the change, and embedding the change. It identifies common mistakes in planning, communicating, and implementing change and provides solutions. Effective change management requires tailoring communication to different audiences, allowing flexibility in plans, and clearly defining roles and responsibilities for implementation.
PRINCE2 is a standardized project management method used worldwide. It provides structure and guidelines for project management in 7 principles, 7 themes, and 7 processes. The document discusses what PRINCE2 is, its benefits such as cost reductions and transparency, and qualifications like Foundation and Practitioner. Maven Training is an accredited PRINCE2 training provider that helps students understand how to apply PRINCE2, prepares them for certification exams, and ensures trainers have project experience.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
