Strategic Portfolio Management .. (click for outcomes)

Our portfolio demand exceeded budget capacity by 39% ..

The Portfolio Diagnostic helped to prioritise & optimise the current portfolio and use this to support a 20% increase in budget.

We had very 'loose' strategic alignment ..

We agreed strategic themes and linkages and were able to assess how the portfolio was enabling our strategy.

Changes to our 'in-flight' portfolio are not consistently assessed and managed ..

We appointed an empowered group to review, assess & make timely and regular decisions in addition to communicating & manage changes. This made a huge difference to accuracy & execution.

Change Impact Analysis was rarely a feature of our assessment criteria, it was thought to be too hard to quantify & was often an 'after-thought' ..

The use of the Portfolio Diagnostic provided us with an effective method to calculate our change impact. We were then able to assess this on a multidimensional basis, we can slice/dice views - strategic goal, business unit, region etc.

Cost Benefits Analysis & Benefits Management were not a consistent feature of assessment criteria for all ideas ..

We designed a pragmatic governance model for new initiatives and changes to existing initiatives. We agreed mandatory assessment criteria for all proposals specific to our organisation

We wanted to incorporate 'agile' ways of working in an effort to be more responsive and focussed ..

There were examples within the portfolio of us 'doing agile', but we wanted to 'be agile' as an organisation. We designed appropriate governance that was more responsive and we started to adopt an OKR approach for the portfolio and an MVP approach for delivery and realisation.
