Conquer Your Business Transformation

We recently had our annual Planview Horizons Customer Conference here in Austin, which is always an inspirational (albeit exhausting) week, and this year was no different. In many ways this year’s conference was one the most rewarding in my history at Planview. Business transformation is topical to every organization these days, and this year the...

Real-Time Collaborative Project Navigation

I could not understand why another such device was needed, let alone one that...

UK Trends in Employee Engagement
