Corporate Transformation – Who’s on First?
This session examines the effect and impact of multiple, concurrent projects upon the organization and upon other projects, building awareness of the challenges of what is, what will be and what is happening in between!
At any moment in time, every organization will be in the throes of change to a greater or lesser degree. Projects; tens, hundreds even thousands vie for resources, time and attention; concurrently striving to address defensive, offensive, expansion, growth, contraction and improvement pressures – internally generated or externally forced.
The mechanics of projects (how to get to the new state, when and with what resources and with what result) are neither foreign nor impossible BUT the sum effect of multiple projects, conflicting dynamics and obstructive politics impacts both the organization and every project it envisions and executes.

John leads the audience through a unique exercise that propels and compels understanding of the issues associated with multiple projects and why project failure; delays, cost overruns, low quality, user dissatisfaction, dismal ROI, etc, etc, is often a direct outcome of just how many other projects are playing in the same sandbox.
By the end of the session, participants come away with the realization that John's landmark treatment has uncovered aspects of corporate transformation / business improvement that are overlooked, ignored or taken for granted. They come away with the means to…
· Understand how and why an incorrect project baseline all but guarantee’s failure.
· Understand how and why an incorrect project baseline is the starting point for most projects.
· Recognize when an incorrect project baseline is governing thinking about what has to be done, to whom, when, where, with what intended effect and at what cost.
· Understand the benefits of virtual project baseline thinking and apply it to each and all projects, thereby mitigating the serious impact of incorrect project baseline planning and execution.
