Background

The two major trends in strategic success

◦ Portfolio management

◦ Strategic resource management

Delivering success

◦ The need for integration

◦ Aligning priorities and benefits

◦ Effective and efficient measurement and improvement

◦ The right tools

What you need to do - now

Portfolio management has gained significant traction in recent years

◦ Recognition of the importance of tying project execution to strategic goals

◦ Value of central planning and execution

But performance is still not where it needs to be

◦ Inefficiencies not being driven out – especially around resources

◦ Portfolio execution not integrated with rest of the business

Idea Business Case Selection Execution Benefits Realization

Portfolio management has much greater scope than project management

Success requires all elements to work together

Improvement cycles are slow because process is generally annual

Traditional resource management is designed to fail:

◦ Is focused at project level only, not whole portfolio

◦ Silos resources – project vs. operations vs. support

◦ Is reactive – responds to needs / problems, doesn’t anticipate them

7

And it fails very successfully!

Success doesn’t come from choosing between PPM or resource management tools

◦ You need both, and they MUST be integrated

◦ The disciplines need to be viewed as two elements of strategic execution

Tools must form the platform that supports strategic execution

◦ Fundamental to the way the organization operates

◦ Aligned with all processes and practices

Stop thinking of portfolio management and resource management as separate disciplines

◦ Together they drive synergy

◦ Separately they create ‘noise’ and inefficiency

Identify opportunities for improvement and gain organizational support

◦ Many organizations recognize that PPM and resource management are sub optimal

◦ But few know what to do about it

16

Develop an improvement plan with tangible goals and objectives

◦ Be realistic – planning is a slow cycle

◦ Ensure that benefits are achieved and sustainable before moving on

Invest in tools that support and enhance your capability

◦ Flexible enough to adapt and grow with you

◦ Powerful enough to drive improvements
