To compete in todays evolving business environment, businesses are being forced to change how they

operate. Organizations are embarking on transformational change efforts to remain relevant, find new sources
of revenue and retain top talent. However, these changes are difficult because they require a change in
leadership practices, communications, how work is accomplished, and most importantly, the organizations
culture.
"Strategy is the direction and scope of an organization over the long-term: which achieves advantage for
the organization through its configuration of resources within a challenging environment, to meet the needs
of markets and to fulfill stakeholder expectations".

PROJECT MANAGEMENT. More specifically, what is a project? It's a temporary endeavor undertaken to
create a unique product, service or result.
A project is temporary in that it has a defined beginning and end in time, and therefore defined scope and
resources. And a project is unique in that it is not a routine operation, but a specific set of operations designed
to accomplish a singular goal. Project management, then, is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and
techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements.

How can you turn big, complex programs into big, sustainable value?
Big, complex business transformation, infrastructure and IT programs promise a lot of value but
often fail to deliver. Program management is about reaping the benefits of change.
We help you turn big, complex programs into big, sustainable value.
For EY Program Management, a better working world means helping you deliver outcomes that grow,
optimize and protect your business.
We believe that when program management and business transformation work better, the world
works better. So we work to understand your specific issues and are driven to ask better questions:

Would you rather be 5% under budget and late, or 10% over budget and a year ahead?
Should you address processes first and be more efficient over time, or simply comply with
regulations to avoid potentially massive fines?

Whatever the answer, we can help you tame the chaos of large programs, control every
moving part and unlock value for the long term.
Do your people give you a competitive advantage?
On top of existing pressures to cut costs, build stakeholder confidence, expand market reach and

through its people the right people with the right capability, in the right place at the right time, for
the right cost, doing the right things.

If operating a business requires taking risks, are you taking the right ones?
Every challenge and every opportunity an organization faces today demands change. And with
change comes risk. Some risks you can see, some you can predict, some you can plan for, and some
you cant.
Organizations are not created to manage risk; they are created to generate value as part of a broader
aspirational purpose. That purpose is achieved through a series of strategic business decisions that
require taking risks these risks impact business performance. Organizations that identify, manage
and respond to these risks well are positioned to grow and remain successful.
Our understanding of the issues around risk the risks you can see as well as the ones you cant
inspire us to ask better questions. By working globally with organizations, we can create innovative
answers that help enhance and accelerate business performance.
Transforming the way they manage risk requires business to challenge the way they think about,
identify, manage, and, respond to it. Organizations need to look beyond manageable risks (financial,
operational, regulatory), better align their risk and business objectives, improve coordination and

alignment of risk activities across the organization, and more effectively leverage technology so that
they can better respond to their different risks.
Together, we can help deliver better outcomes and long-lasting results, from strategy to execution.
