It encompasses the process of creating a strategy for project management, re-shaping the culture to be more focused on the consistency in the management of projects and implementing a project management process.
Creating a Project Management Centre of Excellence
project_management_COEA Centre of Excellence is a business unit that has organization-wide authority. The key elements of a successful Project Management Centre of Excellence include:
Vision and Strategies
A clear vision of what it represents and the strategies to identify how it will reach this vision in the short and long term.
Competencies
The selection of resources based on project competency requirements compared to actual project resource competencies. The identification of coaching, training and other developmental activities to close any competency gap.
Culture
How to re-shape the organizational culture to be more supportive of the consistency in the management of projects.
Processes
The right processes, tools and templates that are helpful and meaningful to project managers and their teams.
Quality
The quality criteria for the project management framework, processes and documents.
1. Create the Vision and Strategies
One approach to creating a vision for the Centre of Excellence is to brainstorm ideas that focus on what the future will look like. Start by creating scenarios that describe what the Centre will be doing 5 years into the future. What are some of the things that they will be doing that reflect a successful Centre of Excellence? What will employees and customers be saying about them? How did they get there?
The outcome of this process is the creation of a vision statement for the Project Management Centre of Excellence. Determine how this vision aligns and supports the organization’s strategic direction.
The alignment of the Centre of Excellence to the goals of the organization is key to driving strategy implementation. Strategies translate this vision into reality. They close the gap between the present and the “ideal” future described in the vision scenarios. These strategies must be described clearly so that the organization understands and accepts them.

Corporate innovation with Startups made simple with Pitchworks VC StudioGokul Rangarajan
In this write up we will talk about why corporates need to innovate, why most of them of failing and need to startups and corporate start collaborating with each other for survival
At the end of the conversation the CIO asked us 3 questions which sparked us to write this blog.
1 Do my organisation need innovation ?
2 Even if I need Innovation why are so many other corporates of our size fail in innovation ?
3 How can I test it in most cost effective way ?
First let's address the Elephant in the room, is Innovation optional ?
Relevance for customers
Building Business Reslience
competitive advantage
Corporate innovation is essential for businesses striving to remain relevant and competitive in today's rapidly evolving market. By continuously developing new products, services, and processes, companies can better meet the changing needs and preferences of their customers. For instance, Apple's regular release of new iPhone models keeps them at the forefront of consumer technology, while Amazon's introduction of Prime services has revolutionized online shopping convenience. Statistics show that innovative companies are 2.5 times more likely to have high-performance outcomes compared to their peers.
This proactive approach not only helps in retaining existing customers but also attracts new ones, ensuring sustained growth and market presence.
Furthermore, innovation fosters a culture of creativity and adaptability within organizations, enabling them to quickly respond to emerging trends and disruptions. In essence, corporate innovation is the driving force that keeps companies aligned with customer expectations, ultimately leading to long-term success and relevance.
Business Resilience
Building business resilience is paramount for companies looking to thrive amidst uncertainties and disruptions. Corporate innovation plays a crucial role in fostering this resilience by enabling businesses to adapt, evolve, and maintain continuity during challenging times. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies that swiftly innovated their business models, such as shifting to remote work or expanding e-commerce capabilities, managed to survive and even thrive. According to a McKinsey report, organizations that prioritize innovation are 30% more likely to be high-growth companies. Innovation not only helps in developing new revenue streams but also in creating more efficient processes and resilient supply chains. This agility allows companies to quickly pivot in response to market changes, ensuring they can weather economic downturns, technological disruptions, and other unforeseen challenges. Therefore, corporate innovation is not just a strategy for growth but a vital component of building a robust and resilient business capable of sustaining long-term success.
Building a Strong Foundation: Team Development and Leadership Strategies
High Level Solution Plan - Nationwide
1. <Course Name > Design Document 1
Project Summary
Overview
Nationwide has made the shift to a hybrid workforce in 2020 to 2021 and is now using a
primarily digital/virtual approach to learning. Nationwide also committed to skill uplift in 2020
with a $160 million investment in the Future of Work (FOW) Center aimed at Upskilling, Career
Planning, and Reskilling for its 25,000 associates. The five-year initiative is focused on enhanced
benefits of associate reskilling/upskilling. Nationwide also wants to better prepare their people
leader’s role in the company’s learning culture, strengthening the leader’s abilities to support
the Future of Work skill development of their team members.
They have asked us to develop an approach that will provide leaders with learning to take on
this role (coaching skills, observation and feedback skills, experience design skills to support
associate development). The effort will require a communication and change management
approach to introduce this increased role for the people leaders, along with the prototype of
how this would work and what this could look like at launch.
The effort will require a momentous change management effort to incorporate everything into
the flow of work (including training and skill practice) requiring buy-in from the people leader.
The other request was that the prototype/MVP should be built using tools that Nationwide
currently has in their technology suite or with free tools. As developed the project will only use
resources currently available to Nationwide through its FOW Center. It also focuses on the
process rather than the development of any new courseware due to the use of LinkedIn
Learning and the potential integration of BetterUp into Workday. The process will, however,
require significant use/integration of existing applications within the Microsoft Suite and
Workday to execute as developed.
Project Length
The estimated project length will vary based on the business objective and project chosen by
the leader. The average time to complete a development cycle will also depend upon the
benefit to the organization, feedback from senior leadership, and number of additional
resources required. However, the actual learning and development experience will be
accomplished in approximately 6 months or less.
Target Audience
Senior leadership – Senior leader participation is required to approve people leader

projects/initiatives and determine whether they should continue once the learning and
development experience is completed. Their participation is also key to communicating the
priority of the experience and providing associates with the exposure necessary to grow.
People leader (primary) - (profile/demographics) The primary target in this project is the people
leader. Much of the success and/or failure of the project will depend on their personal learning
and development and if they can effectively lead their teams through giving feedback,
mentoring, coaching, and overall team effectiveness. They will gain experience leading their
team through the process and by the eventual feedback they will get from both their
immediate supervisor and the associates they led over the previous six months.
Associate (secondary) - The associates have already been engaged in learning and development
as part of Nationwide's future of work initiative. The goal of this project is to continue to
further develop associates by integrating what they have learned into daily flow of work and to
allow them to assess their progress through real world application.
Project Goal
The goal is for leaders to expand in the flow of work skill practice/application opportunities for
all FOW Skills for their associates in at least one individual skill for 2022-2023 (each associate
could be focusing on a different skill).

Project Overview
Objectives
For Nationwide's leadership development program to be effective, there must be clear goals
that are set at the beginning of the process. The following objectives for the course have been
determined to meet the overall goal of increasing leaders' coaching skills, observation and
feedback skills, and experience design skills to support associate development. Each of these
interpersonal skills can be measured to evaluate the success of the project:
- Demonstrate personal responsibility
- Develop active listening skills
- Offer constructive feedback that facilitates growth
- Learn how to unlock potential in others through an empowering, strengths-based
approach
- Build skills to effectively manage performance
- Improve communication practices
Planning Assumptions/Constraints
The following details are based on planning assumptions and constraints. If they are incorrect
or can be overcome, changes to the project outline would be possible.
- Integrate project into the normal flow of work with minimal disruption in operations
- The initiative will count as the 8-hour learning requirement for associates
- Goal is to complete two “development cycles” within the calendar year
- Implementation requires additional participation from senior leadership
- Each team effort needs to be tied to a business objective
- Execution would be conducted during normal working hours – no overtime required
- Senior leaders will support the project and participate at key points to communicate the
importance and provide critical feedback
- People leaders have all completed leadership matters training, participate in a monthly
leadership forum
- Associates have already conducted introductory leadership and development training
and have created at least a preliminary learning plan
- Project will be conducted within a leader's area of responsibility using existing
associates
Design Concept
The proposed initiative requires a multi-phase approach to leadership development that
incorporates the Four E’s of Leadership Development.
Phase I – Education
This is accomplished using personalized, data driven experiences to identify strengths, create
growth plans, and build capacity.
5. <Course Name > Design Document 5
- Education (Using Betterup integration that does all three) -
o Personalized, data-driven experiences
o Build resilience and drive performance
o Strengthening agility in times of change
Phase 2 – Experience
You only learn to lead by doing it. This can be accomplished though identifying growth
opportunities for people leaders within the context of their daily workflows. This can also
leverage the AI technology of Betterup to deliver timely feedback to people leaders on their
actions.
- Experience (how to accomplish and collect data) -
o Needs to include integration into daily operations
Pick skill to focus on – like Lead
Work with a team to identify ways to integrate into daily operations
Develop goal - measurable
Create instrument to ensure integration
Weekly assessment of use
o Active evaluation of teams
o Mentorship of individual employees (personalize growth depending on skill)
o Teams/individuals earn medals/designations based on skills mastered
Phase 3 - Exposure
The best lessons in leadership come from observing, talking with, and getting feedback from
others. Daily interactions with associates and peer leaders will allow them to get real world
experience and allow them to be evaluated by others. This will also be where senior leaders
need to provide regular feedback and complete periodic assessments of people leaders.
- People leader will need to explain integration plan to supervisor
Phase 4 – Evaluation
We all need a coach, a feedback tool, and often a psychological or other form of assessment to
see where our blind spots are. This will be where people leaders are provided with the data
driven results of their performance both from the perspectives of their associates and peers.
This is also tied to the phase three evaluation (behavior) of the program to determine if it was
successful in meeting the original goals.
- Evaluation -
o 360 feedbacks
o Associate survey and work performance (performance management tools assess
performance and potential; they now include built-in survey and AI-based
assessment tools that let employees evaluate managers and give managers
direct feedback.)

Project Outline
Major Milestones
The following graphic walks through the major milestones of the project from the initial kickoff
meeting to gain support from Nationwide leadership and to outline the learning outcomes. It
then walks through the timeline from the perspective of the senior leader, people leader, and
the associate. The goal is to show the touchpoints between participants and some of the
deliverables that will be needed to implement the initiative. The elements are meant to flow in
sequential order except for the individual training being completed by the people leader and
the associates.

Evaluation Plan
Evaluation Questions
1) (Reaction) Is the training going ok and are there any significant issues? If not, what
adjustments need to be made to the course, the environment, or the teaching?
2) (Learning) How effectively does the training prepare people leaders to develop
associates?
3) (Behavior) How effectively are people leaders using the techniques learned to coach and
observe associates and provide feedback to support associate development in key skills?
4) (Results) Is the training contributing to better employees - an increase in employee
retention rate and a reduction in hiring and recruiting expenses?

Change Management Plan
The change management plan will focus on getting people leaders on board with and excited
about the proposed solution. We know that people leaders at Nationwide are both eager to
help their teams excel in the future of work and concerned that they don't have the proper
resources or abilities to do that, so it will be critical that we showcase how the newly proposed
program will allow them to build the skills of their associate's without requiring significant
changes to their day-to-day work.
Additionally, it will be important to use this process to bring associates and their people leaders
together, so associates can feel confident that their leaders are willing and able to help them
advance.
To ensure the success of this solution in the near- and long-term, the project will begin as a
pilot:
Pilot with teams in at least five different departments within Nationwide
o This should include at least two departments set to be impacted by automation
or downsizing, such as the claims and underwriting
When identifying teams, aim for a majority (80% or more) to be led by people leaders
eager to participate in change, with at least one team led by a challenger or skeptic
o It is important to include neutral or skeptical teams in this pilot since this opens
the door to valuable feedback and ideas, and can lead to more impactful pitches
to the rest of the org when skeptics are won over to the change
Care should be taken to ensure any neutral or negative participants are
not actively willing or hoping to sabotage project success and/or are
eager see the project fail
o Teams and people leaders can be identified via senior leader nominations and a
call for participants
Communication rollout strategy:
Begin with meeting between clients & senior leadership to make sure there is a team of
project sponsors and champions who will support these changes and offer assistance
and guidance as it is rolled out
Kickoff meeting between senior leadership & people leaders introducing the program
12. <Course Name > Design Document 12
and the pilot, potentially in the monthly Excel as Leader Forum or as a special leadership
meeting
o Opportunity to ask questions, learn about the changes, and complete a short
survey
Survey will help identify the skills people leaders need to focus on, as well
as identify teams to pilot the program with.
Announcement of pilot program added to Future of Work Center and shared via
Yammer and email (or other company-wide communication method) for all Nationwide
associates to see
o To encourage participation, we recommend offering one or more incentives,
such as the following:
New badges can be created and offered to pilot teams, such as
“Innovator” and “Change Agent”
A team drawing: every people leader who volunteers to participate will
be entered into a drawing for a team lunch, outing, experience, etc.
Follow up meeting in the monthly Excel as Leader Forum announcing pilot teams,
explaining next steps, and introducing resources
Once pilot teams have been identified and project is ready to launch:
o Ask Me Anything drop-in sessions scheduled periodically throughout pilot
Begin with clients and senior leader as panelists in beginning
More sessions upfront and then becoming more sporadic throughout
o Detailed FAQ available in the Future of Work Center
At close, results of pilot shared broadly in an all-company meeting with opportunity for
pilot teams to present and discuss their experiences
o Their feedback should be used to adjust and adapt the process as needed for a
successful company-wide launch
