520			_aThis article analyzes the management of project portfolios that encompass both exploratory and implementation projects under the denomination of ambidextrous program management. We build on the project/program and ambidexterity literature to characterize such programs. Based on an in-depth three-year study, we apply this analytical framework to an emblematic case: the Autonomous Mobility (AM) initiative of a major automotive firm. We characterize the coordination challenges of such ambidextrous program management, and propose a coordination concept to deal with them, which we term the program hub. Our contribution to the project management field is to extend the scope of analysis to a new type of program that simultaneously coordinates both exploratory and implementation projects. We also advance the ambidexterity field by demonstrating how ambidextrous program management can orchestrate different types of ambidextrous organizational patterns within the firm. For practitioners, we illustrate the multibillion-dollar innovation initiative focused on autonomous mobility that is ongoing within the auto industry. - Reproduced.
