ABSTRACT
Large scale, complex programs to transform an enterprise, business unit, or business area are most successful when the program management team proactively collaborates with the program stakeholders through the program management life cycle. Trusted relationships have to be cultivated and close partnerships developed as program managers drive the execution of the transformation program to move the business from its current state to the envisioned future state. At the end of the day, a key success metric for the program is the adoption of the attained future state by the program stakeholders. The program manager leading the business transformation effort facilitates embracement of the future state through effective ongoing stakeholder engagement.
