Identify Benefits to Drive Business Results – interview with Beth Partleton

The Pulse report subtitle is The Strategic Impact of Projects: Identify Benefits to Drive Business Results.

We suspect this disconnect may result because so few organizations monitor and measure the benefits that projects and programs deliver across a business.

Leading Projects in Turbulent Times – interview with Ricardo Vargas

During the 11th International PMI Poland Chapter Congress you gave a speech titled “Leading Projects in Turbulent Times”. Why did you choose this topic?  I decided to talk about leadership in this moment because I think this is one of the things that are missing most of the time when we are leading.
