Strategic initiatives rarely stall because teams aren’t working hard enough. More often, the information leaders need to make timely decisions is scattered across Jira, Asana, Slack, spreadsheets, meetings, and everything in between. By the time a risk becomes visible at the executive level, the opportunity to address it early may already be gone.

Galen Low sits down with Maria Delgado Oliveros, founder of glidiffy and former program management leader at Uber, Hexagon PPM, and Chime, to unpack what makes strategic initiatives different from ordinary projects—and why better visibility can transform the relationship between program managers and executive sponsors. They explore how PMs can spend less time chasing updates and more time understanding dependencies, surfacing risks, making trade-offs, and becoming trusted operational partners.
