Sooner or later, almost any large project team or department reaches a point where a course correction is necessary that the team cannot manage on its own. SOAPARK conducts respective independent reviews from the outside perspective to facilitate the necessary steps.

Large Organizations Struggle With Change

Innovation most often has a business and an IT dimension. This duality contributes significantly to the difficulties of implementing projects in large organizations. Typical problems inherent in large organizations, such as distributed teams, conflicts of interest, lack of skills, etc., must be addressed on these two levels.
