KeyedIn Survey Finds Vast Majority of Projects Not Well Aligned with Strategic Business Priorities, Huge Lack of Resources to Carry Projects Out

January 18 Webinar Offers Deep Dive on Third Annual PMO Outlook Report which Showcases the Challenges and Opportunities for PMO Leaders in 2023

Ninety-four percent of projects are not well aligned with strategic business priorities and 77% of project practitioners don’t have enough resources to meet project demand, according to the 2023 PMO Outlook Report conducted by KeyedIn, a leading project portfolio management (PPM) software provider.

The new report highlights the findings from a survey of 120+ PMO/portfolio leaders, executives, and project managers, and was developed to assess the state of the project management office (PMO) as it becomes front and center for organizations executing digital transformation initiatives and other strategic efforts.

“This was KeyedIn’s third year of conducting its PMO Outlook Assessment Survey,” said Rachel Hentges, Director of Marketing for KeyedIn. “The most alarming statistic is the drop in alignment of resources to business priorities from being very well aligned in 2021 (23%) to only 8% very well aligned in 2022. This year’s results continue to highlight the disconnect between PMOs, executives, and their organizations when it comes to successfully delivering, tracking, and executing on changing business priorities.”

The role of the PMO continues to change, as demonstrated by survey takers’ response to the question around the role of the PMO within their organizations. No clear answer emerged: 23% stated it’s a reporting and tracking function, 15% a business improvement function, 6% governance and standards and 47% citing a mix of functions, and an additional 6% citing other reasons.

The top challenge for PMOs in 2023 continues to be resource management at 52%, followed by project prioritization at 22%.

Resource Management

Organizations continue to struggle with issues related to resource management:

Capacity planning (42%)
Resource allocation (37%)
Resource utilization (11%)
Tracking resource skills (7%)
Managing contractors (3%)

Project Prioritization

Organizations also continue to face project prioritization issues:

Saying “no” to some projects in the portfolio (42%)
Accurately scoring the value of portfolio of projects (33%)
Modeling scenarios to optimize portfolio value (9%)
Aligning portfolio projects with corporate strategy (8%)
Tracking the value portfolio projects deliver (8%)

“Strategically prioritizing their portfolios in conjunction with shifting business priorities remains an ongoing challenge,” Hentges said. “In the report, KeyedIn introduces the importance of ‘The PMO Pivot’ and what that means for successful PMOs in 2023. The PMO Pivot refers to the PMO establishing themselves as the bridge for strategy delivery and project execution even when business priorities shift.”

KeyedIn conducted the survey online with more than 120 individuals in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., representing project and portfolio management functions within enterprise organizations.

Kore.ai Launches RetailAssist at NRF 2023

Conversational AI leader announces an enterprise solution to deliver omnichannel shopping experiences, personalize offerings and increase customer loyalty

Kore.ai, a world-leading enterprise conversational AI software platform and solutions company, announced that it will be launching RetailAssist, a conversational commerce assistant solution for the retail industry at the National Federation of Retailers show (NRF 2023) in New York City on January 14, 2023.

Retailers are dealing with macroeconomic challenges like inflation, labor shortages and rising wages. In response, many are seeking to transform customer and employee experiences. By utilizing conversational AI technology, retailers can reposition business models through AI-driven automation, and implement next-generation customer and employee experiences to build loyalty and reduce churn.

RetailAssist enables retail and ecommerce companies to modernize, scale and transform operations by building competencies around self-service automation, personalization, omnichannel fulfillment, and 24/7 pre-/post-sales service and support. The solution also acts as an employee assistant to help retailers with onboarding, day-to-day operations, and customer support.

“RetailAssist is one of the most comprehensive offerings, bringing together competencies that enable our retail clients to innovate and scale their digital self service use cases faster,” said Kore.ai CEO and Founder Raj Koneru. “With the ability to offer conversational intelligent virtual assistants that support the customer journey from start to finish, the solution empowers retailers to tap into the AI-powered conversational commerce today.”

Digital investments in retail will increasingly leverage technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud for driving commerce, store digitalization and efforts to attract and retain talent, reveals the Gartner 2023 CIO and Technology Agenda report. The Kore.ai RetailAssist solution leverages next generation language models like GPT-3, the technology behind ChatGPT and brings everything that retailers need to elevate total experience.

“We choose Kore.ai because it has established itself as a world-class conversational AI platform. Its sophisticated NLP engine and ability to roll out to various channels quickly have been key factors in our success and the retail vertical solutions offered by Kore.ai have allowed us to bring a personalized experience to both our consumers and consultants. The speed at which we were able to move to market is a testament to the value of the Kore.ai platform,” said Venkat Gopalan, Chief Digital and Technology Officer at Belcorp, the global leader in beauty and personal care products.

Kore.ai is demonstrating RetailAssist at the NRF 2023 show (Booth 208) showcasing key use cases such as an employee assistant on walkie talkies and Zebra mobile devices, digital associate (personalized chatbot) for web and mobile apps as well as the smart contact center automation for stores and contact centers.

The RetailAssist digital associate AI-chatbot helps customers find the right products, get self-service support, check product compatibility, get the order status, returns, manage appointments in web and mobile apps and provide recommendations to customers based on their spend profile, demographics, geography, inventory availability, web and social profiles.
RetailAssist smart contact center automation helps automate voice and digital interactions for self-service and live assisted customer support operations in stores and contact centers while helping agents with their own intelligent virtual assistant for suggested responses, next best actions, action fulfillment and post-interaction wrap summaries.
The RetailAssist employee assistant is an AI-chatbot that informs workers about everything happening in the store – whether it is customers waiting on curbside, someone looking for help from an expert in the store, as well as enabling upselling and cross selling of products and services. It is also pre-trained to handle employees’ HR, administrative, IT and operations related queries and comes with out-of-the-box integrations with the retail enterprise applications ecosystem.

“Personalization for web and mobile apps should be a top priority to transform online shopping experiences,” said Kore.ai Senior Vice President and General Manager, Gopinath Polavarapu. “Kore.ai has built an intelligent AI-native chatbot that allows consumers to search and discover products while simultaneously asking intricate questions to personalize the right products and services based on their customer profile, inventory status and promotions.”

Tips to Avoid Losing ECommerce Customers with the Right Approach to Delivery Exceptions

AxleHire has identified tips ecommerce brands can take to avoid losing customers with the right approach to delivery exceptions.

AxleHire, providing e-commerce companies with expedited, urban, same- and next-day deliveries, has identified tips ecommerce brands can take to avoid losing customers with the right approach to delivery exceptions.

Package returns usually occur because some piece of information is incorrect, which results in an undeliverable package, at least temporarily.

The right package does not always make it to the correct location at the right time. Accenture reports that this happens about 5% of the time. If you’re shipping 10,000 packages a month, that’s 500 packages that don’t make it on time. Every re-attempt increases cost, but the loss of goodwill with a brand’s customer and reputational damage to the brand is much more significant than the increased delivery cost. One delivery issue can cause an ECommerce brand to lose a customer for life.

The ability to satisfactorily handle all exceptions begins before they occur. It starts with understanding the shipper’s needs, such as if the shipper wants single or multiple re-delivery attempts, if the carrier or driver can reach out to the customer for assistance, or if the shipper wants to manage that communication.

Carrier system interfaces should be transparent and robust enough to keep the shipper in the loop at every step of the delivery process, from package intake to delivery, and allow the shipper to intervene in exception handling.

The key for the carrier is flexibility to handle whatever situations arise. Drivers need to be flexible too, slowing down, taking an extra minute or two to get past an issue and make sure the package gets to the customer. It’s essential that carrier systems allow the shipper to communicate special instructions and that drivers follow through to prevent customer service calls.

For carriers, dealing with exceptions starts with a willingness to take a little (and sometimes a lot) of extra time and effort to resolve issues. Handling delivery exceptions and package returns is the problem of the carrier, not the shipper. As an extension of the brand, every exception is the last-mile delivery provider’s problem.

With full integration into Celerant’s back office system, retailers can manage their app with minimal effort. From a centralized database, retailers can update products and pricing, and manage sales from across all retail channels in real-time for easy management, data consistency, and to ensure their eCommerce website and mobile app are in-sync.

Being a single software provider, we truly understand our clients’ business needs and are able to help them succeed and be more completive.”

Earnix, the market-leading provider of mission-critical cloud-based intelligent real-time, dynamic pricing and rating solutions for insurers and banks, announced it is appointing insurance and fintech industry veteran, Robin Gilthorpe, as its new Chief Executive Officer effective February 1, 2023. Mr. Gilthorpe will be taking over the helm from Mr. Udi Ziv, who served as the company’s CEO over the past six years.

Robin Gilthorpe, a veteran of the finance and insurance industries, brings to the role over 25 years of experience as a successful business leader. Throughout his career, Mr. Gilthorpe has held numerous executive leadership roles at leading technology and insurance companies such as TIBCO, Vertexone, Watersmart Software, DataSynapse and ESW Capital.

“I am thrilled to be joining Earnix at this crucial time in the global economy,” said Robin Gilthrope, incoming CEO at Earnix. “Financial services companies across the globe are seeking intelligent operations to ensure they can offer real-time, dynamic solutions, to better serve customers, enabling them to be more agile, nimble, attentive, and responsive.

His hiring comes on the heels of a period of growth for Earnix led by exiting CEO Udi Ziv.

Mr. Ziv built a strong team of leaders positioned to drive the company’s continued growth. Udi will serve as one of the industry experts on the Earnix Board of directors.

“We are proud to welcome Robin to the Earnix family, and believe that his experience in building global, international companies, alongside the growing demand for Earnix’s suite of real-time, dynamic, composable Intelligent InsurOps solutions, will lead Earnix to significant growth over the next few years, and bring Earnix to international market leadership, with its real-time operation platform for the largest insurance companies and banking institutions,” said Erel Margalit, JVP Founder & Executive Chairman and Earnix’s Chairman of the Board, “We want to thank Udi for his important role, over the last few years. With its growing presence in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Israel, Earnix will continue to strive to become the category leader, in the real-time AI usage-based insurance and banking industry.”

“I’ve very much enjoyed my tenure at Earnix, leading the company to consistent year over year growth, and strongly believe in our people and products as a change agent for financial services companies,” Udi Ziv, exiting CEO, Earnix, said. “I believe now is the time to move on to my next endeavor as the company prepares for its next stage of international expansion. I firmly believe I am leaving the company in very capable hands with Robin and expect that the company will continue the rapid global growth Earnix has experienced in the last few years.”
