Business Transformation Requires Transformational Leaders

This Executive Update asks whether teams can use AI to increase the performance of Agile teams. Data collection, analysis, prediction, and reporting tend to make up a large proportion of the AI capabilities used in the project and portfolio management disciplines. Most tools are not uniquely oriented toward Agile delivery; this Update will concentrate on the Agile dimension. (Not a client?

In this webinar, you'll discover the 4 key questions your organization should consider in order to successfully transform.

A major consideration in this world of complex­ity of choice is to figure out how to achieve business agility at scale. This Advisor discusses using a framework to achieve that.

Change often creates challenges. Inherent in many challenges are one or more oppor­tunities. Resolving challenges associated with implementing decision automation and sensors can help identify opportunities for digital transformation and operations renewal. As we explore in this Advisor, managers must assess what is needed, what is cost-effective, and what is most useful with new decision automation technologies.

In this on-demand webinar with Cutter Consortium Senior Consultant Dr. Patrick Haibach, you’ll find out how RPA is augmenting the workforce in a variety of companies. You’ll learn the ways organizations are using the bot-technology. And you’ll discover what the next era of automation will look like.

As I explore in this Advisor, I believe we are going to witness a major migration to a new spectrum of ecosystem-centric businesses that are not customer first, company first, or employee first, but are instead ecosystem first, which is a new thing altogether.

Agile transformation often starts as a grassroots experiment of “doers” but cannot deliver the most valu­able results — increased business agility — without involving company management to face some bold deci­sions. We invite you to view the “Rubicon decisions” described in this Executive Update as generic milestones on an Agile transformation roadmap.

The need for efficiency in business is more imperative now than ever; we need to do more with less money, less time, and fewer resources. Yet business must also meet the needs of increasingly demanding customers who now expect 24/7 service. In this environment, businesses must consider automating tasks not only to meet increasing demands but to free up human staff to take on more strategically valuable and fulfilling tasks. Robotic process automation (RPA) can thus take on the repetitive, “non-value-adding,” laborious tasks by manipulating data and triggering actions with other software systems. In this Advisor, we explore how RPA is benefiting a number of verticals.
