Overview

A 60-minute guided Strategy Session to build your 2026 Playbook to maximize Pega value, and avoid the pitfalls that block value and limit progress.

Who Should Attend

This workshop is designed for executives and senior leaders in organizations that have already invested in Pega and are responsible for translating those investments into measurable business value. 

The truth is, the struggles that block Pega value creation are usually organizational, not technological. 

So, if you're an executive, director, or practice leader who is finalizing your 2026 plans and want to ensure these investments deliver the outcomes promised, this workshop is for you.

You’ll benefit most from this guided strategy session if you are: 

• A transformation or practice leader defining your 2026 roadmap and looking to connect your Pega strategy directly to enterprise growth goals.

• A business or operations executive aiming to avoid the delivery and governance pitfalls that slow or erode ROI from Pega automation and AI initiatives.

• A program sponsor or product owner seeking a clear framework to prioritize initiatives, manage budgets, and demonstrate tangible value realization.

You will leave with a tailored 2026 Pega Value Playbook—a practical guide for making confident decisions, avoiding common pitfalls, establishing the right foundation, and accelerating measurable results across your organization.

Agenda

In this 60-minute guided Strategy Session, you’ll move through a focused sequence of frameworks and exercises designed to shape your 2026 Pega Value Playbook 

1. Set The Mandate: Clarify your vision for 2026 — map where you want to be a year from now, the barriers to overcome, and the leadership mandate that will guide your Pega investment strategy and execution.

2. Find Your North Star: Create your Value Scorecard to define and quantify the outcomes that matter most — establishing clear measures of success and alignment across teams.

3. Manage The Value Cycle: Assess where your organization sits within your current Value Cycle and identify the strategic shifts required to accelerate progress and sustain momentum.

4. Design The Playbook: Pull everything together into your 2026 Pega Value Playbook — a clear, actionable plan that connects strategy to execution and ensures measurable business impact.
