<s>[INST] I am a Programme Manager responsible for managing large Global IT Programmes for a leading bank. My boss is a director. My boss’s boss is the global CIO. I am at a cross roads.
My main concern is that I feel I am not doing the work that I want to do. I feel as though I have lost identity as a Programme Manager and no longer feel connected to the work that I do. My role is increasingly administrative and less hands on. As Programme Manager, I have a team of Programme Coordinators and Programme Managers reporting directly to me. Although I do not feel engaged at work any more, I do enjoy the people aspect of my role and value the relationships I have built with my reports.
I am considering a move out of the Programme Management space and into Digital Transformation. I have a keen interest in this area and it aligns well with the bank’s strategic priorities. I have experience in IT Programme Delivery but I don’t have direct experience in Digital Transformation. I am concerned about my ability to make this career shift and whether I will be viewed as credible.
Another aspect that I am considering is a move into another part of the bank to work on different projects. I am concerned about the potential impact on my career progression and the potential loss of my network in the Programme Management space that I have built over time.
I am seeking advice on how to navigate this career transition. I am interested in how to determine which career path to pursue and the potential risks and benefits associated with each.

**How would I answer the question of whether I am looking at Digital Transformation as a way to escape the Programme Management role or as a career path that truly aligns with my goals and aspirations?[/INST]
