Portfolio Management

Organisations are faced with many choices about where to invest. High performing organisations are twice as likely to have alignment of projects and organisational strategy. Portfolio management provides the mechanisms for translating strategic objectives into an appropriate set of programmes and projects, facilitating effective delivery and benefits realisation.

Our considerable, pragmatic experience in this area is twofold:

Portfolio Delivery

• Implementing portfolio management

• Advising on effective portfolio management

• Providing independent quality assurance at the portfolio, programme and project levels

• Establishing and training portfolio, programme and project governance

• Developing and optimising portfolio reporting

• Undertaking post implementation reviews

Portfolio Definition

• Facilitating strategy and planning workshops

• Reviewing what’s in your current portfolio and the project/programme development pipeline

• Devising projects and programmes to address strategy gaps

• Categorising and prioritising initiatives thorough advanced analytical techniques

• Helping you answer the questions:

  • Which initiatives should the organisation invest in?

  • What are the most important initiatives?

  • What initiatives must be resourced above all others?

• Helping you balance your portfolio against:

  • timing and stage of initiative development

  • optimum use of available funding and other resources

  • overall risk:return profile
