In the last few years, organizations have invested heavily in automation, analytics, and machine learning—yet many still struggle with the same painful outcomes: rework, delays, escalations, customer churn, compliance drift, and “why do we keep fixing the same thing?” fatigue.

Organizations today don’t fail because of poor tools. They fail because of weak leadership at the project level. As Satya Nadella, CEO […]
