AI is moving fast: most organisations aren’t

The gap between deploying AI and actually using it is wider than most leadership teams think.

Many leadership teams believe they are already advanced in artificial intelligence. In reality, most remain in early stages of maturity, where copilots, chatbots and analytics tools are deployed in isolation rather than embedded into core workflows and decision-making.

Transforming Agile from a buzzword into a mode of change

Agile adoption has become so prolific and such a common presence across organisations that its name has essentially reached ‘buzzword status’. Such has been its overuse – and, at times, misuse – that AXELOS’s PPM Benchmark Study 2017 found that the word ‘agile’ was “used without a real understanding of what it meant.

Doing agile doesn't equal to being agile

Gaining true business agility with Agile

How local councils can thrive in a post-pandemic world

Local councils are not unfamiliar with crisis management and providing their constituents with emergency relief. From droughts to bushfires, major storms and long-term erosion, small government needs to have a diverse skill set to handle the myriad of issues that can arise in their communities.

Project managing in isolation

Right now, every project manager’s risk register is filled with concerns about how their project team is managing – and maintaining consistency – throughout the current COVID-19 pandemic.

The importance of good decision-making during crises

Effective judgement – aka the ability to make good decisions – is something we acquire over time and is essential to our everyday lives, both personal and professional.
