Humanizing Projects!

The human element plays the central role in digital business transformation. It is important during the transition (collaboration, skills, culture, empowerment, etc.), as well the result of digital transformation – the improvement of the user and customer experience.

Since many business strategies are implemented using projects, integrating human focus in project management needs to be of main concern.
