Beyond Heroics: Moving Beyond Just “On Time and On Budget”

Details

This kick-off session confronts a growing disconnect: boards expect real visibility into portfolio health, but most owners still rely on backward-looking metrics from disconnected systems. It introduces the idea of the "Hero Trap," or leaning on a few seasoned individuals to rescue projects, reframing this not as a talent problem, but as a systemic governance risk.

What you'll learn...

• Why lagging indicators fall short: the gap between what boards expect (real-time health) and what systems deliver (backward-looking data).

• How to spot the Hero Trap: over-reliance on a few experienced people, and why it's a systemic risk.

• What governance-first portfolio management looks like.
