Lunch & Learn | Driving Business Outcomes in Project Management
Attendees will explore why outcomes matter, how they differ from outputs, and how clearly defined outcomes shape better decision-making, stakeholder engagement, and long-term value creation. The session will provide tools and methods for identifying desired outcomes early in the project lifecycle, linking them to strategic objectives, and ensuring that project activities are purposefully aligned to achieve them.
This session is ideal for project professionals and business leaders who want to shift from a delivery mindset to an impact mindset, ensuring every project contributes meaningfully to the organization’s success.
