Even the best strategies are worthless until they deliver results. Our strategic portfolio management consulting services can help you maximize value delivery.

A quick internet search reveals dismal prospects for business strategies:

  • According to Harvard Business School Online, “48 percent of all organizations fail to meet at least half of their strategic targets.”
  • In a report from the Economist Intelligence Unit, “61 percent of firms struggle to bridge the gap between strategy formulation and day-to-day implementation.”
  • “Some 87 percent of businesses fail to execute their strategy each year,” according to zenbusiness.com,
  • “Failing to execute organizational strategy is common—90 percent fall short,” as stated by medium.com.

These statistics tell a troubling story. Out of 10 companies, five to nine will fail to reach their goals. Their failure is not necessarily due to problems with strategic planning, but more likely due to problems with strategic execution.

Enterprise-wide portfolio, program and project management (PPM) can decrease your risk and increase your reward when executing strategy. Savvy portfolio leaders view every project and program as an investment in the business’s success. Their strategic recommendations empower businesses to make data-driven decisions, develop a competitive portfolio, and maximize value delivery.

When you embrace PPM at an enterprise level, your business can translate high-level strategies into an action-oriented and results-driven portfolio of projects that rapidly adjust to changing circumstances while delivering successful outcomes.

Strategies become worthwhile when they bring about valuable results as promised. And Enterprise Portfolio and Program Management can help your business deliver on its promises.

Our Strategic Portfolio Management Services

Strategic Portfolio Assessment helps you understand your business’s portfolio management capabilities so you can strategically strengthen PPM across the enterprise.

  • Does your business have a dedicated and disciplined strategy execution team with comprehensive oversight of portfolio efficiency and effectiveness?
  • Is your business facing challenges when prioritizing projects, allocating resources or measuring success?
  • Are your enterprise PPM reports and metrics consistent and comprehensive?

Together, we will map a plan to improve your enterprise portfolio and program management practice by aligning people, processes and performance to your business’s strategy.

Develop Transformative Portfolios

Organizations need to create alignment between business strategies, projects and the value they want to deliver. They must also develop rigor around their approaches to approving and prioritizing projects. Developing a high-impact project portfolio is the result of a long-term, iterative process that transforms alongside the business.
