Bob starts his new job and does not like everything he finds...
In this chapter we find that the supermarket chain, SpendItNow, has a portfolio of projects and programmes that are not run effectively – and certainly not run as a coherent portfolio linked to the company’s strategy. In fact, they don’t even know how to spell ‘portfolio’.
Bob Sherunkle starts his new job as CEO of SpendItNow and dreams up a project that will make his mark. | |
.. and realises that the way the company runs its projects is not ideal. | |
.. and introduces a consultant (who also happens to be his nephew) to explain project, programme and portfolio management to the company board. | |
.. and the Chief Finance Officer introdces Anna Key as the person who will run one of the most important projects the company has ever undertaken. |
