This PPT slide, part of the 67-slide Strategic Portfolio Management PowerPoint presentation, emphasizes the critical importance of effective project delivery and the necessity for ongoing evaluation of portfolio performance. It challenges the assumption that approved projects will consistently yield expected outcomes. Instead, it advocates for a systematic reassessment of projects in terms of their value, risk, and cost. Projects that are underperforming or have been outpaced by better alternatives should be considered for cancellation or replacement.
The slide outlines 4 key actions to enhance portfolio performance. First, "Make Decisions with Data" suggests leveraging comprehensive data analysis to inform project selection and prioritization. This involves employing rigorous criteria and empirical evidence to identify the most promising initiatives.
Second, "Manage Projects Effectively" calls for a transformation in project management practices. It highlights the need for transparency in project performance and risk assessment, advocating for meticulous monitoring to ensure that approved projects deliver their intended benefits.
Third, "Plan More Often" stresses the importance of continuous planning. It encourages organizations to view portfolio management as an ongoing process rather than a periodic task, fostering a proactive approach to managing projects.
Lastly, "Make Changes" underscores the necessity of regular reassessment of sanctioned projects. It promotes a culture that embraces the idea of halting or replacing projects that no longer align with strategic goals, ensuring that resources are allocated to initiatives that provide the highest value.
Overall, the slide serves as a call to action for organizations to adopt a more dynamic and data-driven approach to portfolio management, ensuring that they remain agile and responsive to changing circumstances.
