Improved Visibility and Early Warnings
[00:01:20–00:01:50]
With Cora, project managers can now see their own portfolios, while senior managers can view portfolios across departments or business units.
The key benefit is visibility and early warning—identifying potential issues before they appear in financial results. Once a problem has already affected costs or timelines, it’s too late to make a meaningful difference. Now, we can act before things go wrong.
Empowering Project Managers and Strengthening Governance
[00:01:50–00:02:30]
Project managers now have a standardized way of storing project information and data. They’re responsible for their own governance because they can see what’s happening on their projects in real time.
This visibility means fewer projects encounter serious problems—and those that do can be identified earlier and corrected. That directly improves project performance and contributes to overall profitability.
Linking Project Success to Business Performance
[00:02:30–00:03:00]
We must commit to Wall Street and our shareholders what we’ll deliver in terms of revenue and profitability. These aren’t arbitrary targets—they’re built from the ground up at the project level.
Each project’s expected revenue and profit contribution feed into our corporate forecasts. With Cora, we now manage 37,000 projects globally within a single tool for the first time ever.
One Global Standard
[00:03:00–00:03:30]
Every project manager—whether handling 10 or 20 projects—now works within one unified system. Everyone follows the same methodology, uses the same warning indicators, inputs data the same way, and benefits from consistent validation checks.
This standardization gives us a robust and coherent forecast, supporting our ability to confidently commit to—and achieve—our annual operating plan.
