I've noticed quite a few project manager or delivery roles that are actually key account management positions. Both are valuable, but they're not the same area. Job titles don't always reflect the work.

It's now back to normal after all the excitement of the World Cup. Always proud to wear the Spanish shirt. Having competed in sports in the past, I know winning is magical, but not magic. Clear objectives alignment and hard work make it. Congrats Argentina too for playing the final.

I was going to post about loop engineering, but I've attended this cool mini hard rock and metal fest, where I even met some band members in person (and some of their family members too)

Quieter periods are often when: -Priorities get clarified - Products and projects get planned or launched - Migrations happen and technical debt gets addressed AI doesn't remove the need to deliver those outcomes. Businesses investing now will be the strongest when pace picks up in Q3/Q4.

I can understand brands may be concerned about positioning, but there's no positioning without effective delivery. #projectdelivery #product #digitalstrategy

Our greatest advantage isn’t technological. Domain expertise still matters. But, it’s the human traits that help us turn complexity into tangible roadmaps that will make a real difference. The question is how to build AI platforms it without losing our human essence. #AI #digitalstrategy

Execution still is an important bottleneck in all organisations. Aligning priorities, defining ownership and enabling teams to deliver together is a solution for strategies to stop being a plan and start creating value.
