Leading the conversation on digital connected work
As companies strive to differentiate and disrupt their markets, there’s a surge in digitalization and transformation initiatives. Unfortunately, many of these initiatives fail to achieve their intended outcomes. Learn more about how to survive and thrive in the digital age.

If you’ve already started to shift from project to product, you may feel stuck. You’ve made changes and introduced new ways of working, but maybe the outcomes haven’t changed in kind.

But what does a product operating model look like in practice – and at scale? These on-demand sessions from the Project to Product Summit 2024 feature three distinct perspectives that answer this question.
Digital banking has redefined financial services over the last decade, with consumer preferences clearly reflecting this transformation: 91% of customers now consider online and mobile experiences a critical priority when choosing a bank.
New research shows that product operating model adoption will increase in the next five years. In a CIO study conducted by Gartner® -- similar to Planview's survey data -- respondents showed that "they expect 70% of their work to use a product-based delivery model in five years.” Alan Manuel explains three reasons why.
