| by Jeannette Cabanis-Brewin
Participate today! Survey closes Jan. 31.
Bloomberg.com kicked off 2020 by releasing a challenging list of the things business should be preparing for:
- A shift in political and economic power from West to East
- A sea-change in consumer habits, toward sustainability
- Humans outnumbered by connected devices
It's mind-boggling to consider the role that project management will have to play in the world Bloomberg's research describes. After all, this is the discipline defined by its ability to create new products, events, processes and experiences. Will we be ready?
To answer this question, project management leaders will need to not only keep track of progress within their own organizations--progress on initiatives like benefits realization, strategy execution, portfolio optimization, and the management of talent--but also understand how they compare to other organizations. What might you change? How will you make a strong argument for investment in your PMO?
Participating in benchmarking studies such as The State of Project Management 2020 can help organizations begin to develop a vision for their evolving responsibilities. Take the survey today -- it closes EOD January 31--to receive the full-data report. Benchmark your functions and practices against others in your own industry, as well as across sectors. Compare your organization to high-performers as well as the average. Change is coming and self-knowledge is power.
