Underscore Transformation

Assuming that you are adopting a programme or portfolio approach to transformation, it’s important that the team you put in place have the necessary skills and experience. A successful programme manager will have a different skillset, mindset and approach to a successful project manager.

In this episode, Jason and Joe deep dive into the skills and competencies that a programme team needs to possess in order to ensure a successful transformation.
