As organisations consider how to weather the road ahead, many are finding they need to make tough decisions about how to allocate resources. For most, it’s not simply about spending less, it’s about knowing which projects to prioritise, even if with limited funding, in order to maintain organisation continuity and ensure longevity.

• Unpredictable operating conditions
• New budget constraints 
• Limited visibility and control
