New CMP90 Webcast Released By Catalyst Development

Oct. 11, 2011 - PRLog -- Catalyst Development has launched the first webcast in its new series – CMP90: Give your Capital Markets Programmes a 90% chance of success.

The webcast – titled The ‘levers’ of success and failure: key insights for sponsoring, leading and managing Capital Markets programmes – is based on Catalyst's unique research into 250 capital markets projects, which highlighted the practical actions that really make the difference between success and failure.

Three factors emerged as more important than any other if a technology or operations project or programme is to deliver the value it was designed to create. The research also uncovers three predictors of failure.

The webcast shares:
•   The 3 'levers' that give a project a 9 in 10 chance of success
•   The 3 'levers' NOT to pull – 4 in 5 failed projects had these in common
•   The crucial importance of the leadership role
•   The leadership and governance skills that will underpin success.

It is essential viewing for anyone on a capital markets project or programme team, programme sponsors, programme managers, heads of PMO, heads of change, COOs and CIOs.

Catalyst’s Head of Research Dr Philip Ullah, who presents the webcast, says: “Our research has gone beyond the governance charts to uncover the things CM firms really need to focus on if their projects and programmes are to succeed.”

Catalyst's unique research into capital markets projects is the basis for CMP90; its proprietary framework of tools, methods and resources that is helping Capital Markets firms to achieve 90% levels of success in running programmes.

Dr Philip Ullah is the author of Collaborative Leadership in Financial Services – a practical guide that equips leaders with the tools and skills to successfully manage complex programmes and operations through collaborating more effectively with others, and developing collaboration across their organisation.
