I have just been asked by an exec from another function to audit a critical project in their portfolio which does not appear to be going well. I have some ideas based on my own PMO experience, but wanted to explore how peers might think about approaching such an exercise. Considerations: - outside my main role - risk of conflict with the leader providing project management services to this exec - sensitivity within the other function to potential criticism of their governance - readiness of the project team to provide relevant information

In my humble opinion, VUCA can summarize the biggest challenges in Supply Chain.
Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity are the biggest challenges bringing lack of visibility, transparency, control, resilience, hence risks for an organization. However, they can be respectively answered with Vision, Understanding, Clarity and Agility.
Standardization-Optimization-Digitization-Automation is accelerating processes' rates and enhancing processes' quality, making them less human-dependent. It enables better data control and governance, and leveraging insights as well as resiliency thanks to agility relatively to external disruptions.
Hence, one gains better:
- Vision on the past with history, and the present with better monitoring, and the future with more accurate forecast resilient to potential disruptions,
- Understanding with leveraged insights and decisions,
- Clarity as a consequence, and
- Agility (and resilience) relatively to internal and external potential disruptions.
