Strategic Portfolio Management is the secret to win enterprises execute with speed, innovation and flexibility, in order to find the best method, by offering technology and consulting services to suit the needs at different stages of the journey.

What we need to know about Project Portfolio Management?

 

 

In traditional portfolio management we need to go back to school to speak about the customer-obsessed operating model, which is about customer-led, insights driven, fast and connected, because a company needs to know how capable it is in these factors. By the way, a company needs digital support to have the best project, because portfolio strategy determines what therapy areas will be pursued, how to invest across them and what capabilities are needed to win.

 

 

How to improve Portfolio Management?

 

 

The essential element of Portfolio Management is a set of feed, priority, resource management, performance management and measure.

5 steps to Enable Successful Business Outcomes

 

 

  1. Define the appropriate portfolio scope and choose projects accordingly.
  2. Build strategy execution and management into the DNA to optimize your projects from the very beginning, considering risk, capability, allocation of resources, pain points and more.
  3. Make solid business planning operations more realistic and complete for your projects.
  4. Strategic planning to close the gap between project execution and strategy goals in order to define and pursue clearer objectives, improve quality of deliverables, and have better visibility and reporting.
  5. Create an efficient and consistent measurement process for strategic priorities and activities.

 

 

Those 5 steps are fundamental success factors for PPM implementation or improvement efforts. However, as both PPM literature and practice acknowledge PPM’s function as a bridge between strategy and operations, it appears that this bridge function still needs to be further explored.
