An organization can only be successful in managing its business if it has control of its key IT processes.
Project Portfolio Management provides IT leadership with better insight into all the factors – organizational, financial and resource-related and customer satisfaction levels – that affect the performance and value of the portfolio.

Interim managers have experience in achieving short-term and effective successes. The focus of interim management is on implementing solutions for sustainable change, transformation, turnaround management, restructuring, growth, value enhancement programs, or crisis management.
Nowadays many organizations rely on interim executives to help them navigate such periods of transition and change - even only to fill a temporary gap in the organizational structure.

In this context you can see the discussions about agile PM Methods like SCRUM or -if you change it on Company Level- also very good: "Critical Chain".
But industrial or traditional PM Methods never will completely go away.

Also Virtualization and "Cloud" influencing PM Manager. Esp. Communication via Online Collaboration will be the de-facto standard, the reliance on distributed multi-national teams will grow.

So, international teams with disparsed project team will be or are already usual (at least in my projects).

The process of IT Strategy is simplified with framework constituted of IT Service Management (ITIL), Enterprise Architecture Development (TOGAF) and Governance (COBIT). IT Strategy is modeled as vertical IT service applied to and supported by each horizontal layers of SOA architecture.

Executing an IT strategy requires strong IT leadership; the chief information officer (CIO) and chief technology officer (CTO) need to work closely with business, budget and legal departments as well as with other user groups within the organization.

The underlying principle is that change does not happen in isolation – it impacts the whole organization (system) around it, and all the people touched by it.

A systematic approach to OCM (Organizational Change Management) is beneficial.
By formally setting expectations, employing tools to improve communication and proactively seeking ways to reduce misinformation, stakeholders are more likely to buy into a change initially and remain committed to the change throughout any discomfort associated with it.

Organizations with robust IT governance mechanisms typically have a strong linkage between their business strategy and IT portfolio.

Executive involvement, performance measurement and accountability are the fundamental building blocks of a good governance system which in turn improves the anticipated ROI.

Researches continuously show that companies have difficulty with information technology (IT) projects to complete on time, on budget or on quality. In fact many are cancelled before completion or not implemented.
Numbers range from 30% to 50% failing IT projets (see examplarily here: PMSolution research) where some 20-30% of them can be recovered.
The reasons are discussed widely.

To recover such projects is a huge task, as a lot of peopel fear to loos its face.
So, peopel's management is the most important ability a Turnaround manager need.
Also only an deep analysis can determine if a project is worth to recover.
