There was a time when business planning was an annual activity, with key decision-makers getting together before the start of each fiscal year, identifying the corporate objectives for the upcoming year, establishing the corresponding annual budgets, and documenting these details in an annual report.

This approach worked (reasonably) well in a world where market conditions were relatively stable, technology innovations were slow and infrequent, competition was a known quantity, staff were in it for the long haul, and productivity was measured by the amount of time people spent in the office. That is not today’s corporate world.

In today’s ever-changing, fast-moving, remote working, global-reaching marketplace, the key to maintaining your competitive advantage, keeping your products and services relevant, and retaining your customers is responsiveness – being in a position to adapt the work that the organization is doing at any time to align with the most current market, technology, competitive, and corporate information available. This includes the need to ensure productivity even when unexpected circumstances require the majority of your staff to work remotely. The paradox is that, even though the business climate has changed, the basic principles of fiscal responsibility, due diligence, and corporate governance need to remain in order for senior management to ensure that operating costs are being expended on those activities that will generate the most significant business value for the organization. It is the same requirement that existed in the world where executives could make key decisions on an annual basis, get monthly status reports, and revisit their annual plans the following year to see the outcomes; but we no longer live in that world.

The executive management of an organization in today’s marketplace still needs to maintain responsibility for corporate governance even when the landscape is changing on a monthly, weekly, or even daily basis. They face a constant struggle to balance the need to support a viable business case and ensure fiscal responsibility in managing overhead costs with the need to be responsive to ongoing changes in technology, market conditions, work environments, and resources.

This is why PRINCE2 Agile® is ideal for today’s corporate world. It combines the governance, due diligence, and accountability that senior management requires with the responsiveness and flexibility that Project Delivery Teams need to do their jobs most effectively:

“PRINCE2 Agile enables businesses to become more competitive by focusing on delivery as well as project direction and management.”
