Kiron Bondale’s Summary
Measurable business value can be realized through the successful initiation, prioritization, planning & execution of strategic projects.
Striking a pragmatic, value-based balance between people, process & technology is a key to achieving success with Project Portfolio Management initiatives.
Effective change management is crucial when trying to improve PPM or PM capabilities. Having been involved with multiple capability improvement initiatives, what I've learned is that "it's easy in theory, difficult in practice"!
Continuous improvement of hard & soft skills gained by assisting organizations in the achievement of their business goals through the execution of the right projects in the right way is my ongoing mission.
Kiron Bondale’s Specialties:
IT governance, project portfolio management and project management methodology consulting. Helping organizations justify, plan and implement sustainable project/program/portfolio management offices. The triage and recovery of troubled projects.
