The speaker suggests a different approach to project management by starting with project leadership education before coding. They propose holding a seminar for senior managers on digital transformation to create a shared understanding and language for discussing the change. This will help leaders see the strategic importance of the transformation and build a coalition to drive the change across the organization. Well, I take a very different approach. Starting well before the first line of code was written, I would first start with project leadership education. Before defining the project scope or selecting team members, I would arrange a short, intensive seminar for all senior managers to explore the concepts and implications of digital transformation. This would help create a common understanding of the stakes involved and foster a shared language for discussing the change. By ensuring leaders grasp the strategic nature of the transformation beyond the technical elements, it would be easier to build a coalition committed to driving the change throughout the organization.
