It’s very tempting to look at projects as having a clear start and finish. Not only does it provide a sense of control, but success is often measured when a project is perceived as ‘complete,’ budget is no longer allocated, and the project team is disbanded. It appeals to our innate sense of tidiness. Not to mention, it’s really fun to check off that ‘to do’ box.
But that’s rarely the typical, or even best, strategy. Projects, particularly large-scale ones such as digital transformation, often start with just a few steps and then evolve as the journey continues. You gain knowledge, better tools become available, additional budget gets allocated, and more opportunities – or challenges – present themselves. These individual moments all combine to create your business’ journey. In actuality there is no ‘finish point,’ rather you continue to shape and improve the systems that drive your desired outcomes. Whether that means managing the cost of expense reports, optimizing the hybrid work experience, or improving your travel and expense processes, an automated financial system will support your journey.
