Keys to Program Management Success
Details
After stagnating during the recession, executives are anxious to find ways to take advantage of the recovery to drive bottom line results and surpass the competition. However, there are typically no obvious or easy answers. It boils down to which companies develop the best strategies and plans, and, more importantly, implements them successfully. This is where program management becomes vital. When there are no simple solutions, it requires a more complex set of initiatives to drive substantial results. Unless a truly effective program management process is in place, there is no chance to achieve aggressive plans.

Focus on connections

Pay rigorous attention to timing
