Portfolio Management

Is everyone really pulling on the same – and the right – rope?

Portfolio management is one of the most complex tasks within an organisation. That concession, however, is little comfort to those responsible:

  • for example when it comes to optimally allocating scarce resources to projects whose quality and goals are not clearly defined,
  • or when responsibilities are not clarified or communicated and programmes/projects run independently of one another – so that neither synergies nor cost-benefit ratios are optimal.
  • Lessons learned from earlier programmes and projects cannot be accessed because they were never documented,
  • and there is a general feeling that everyone is \”doing their own thing\”.

A common goal, a common direction cannot be identified. Once this state is reached, the success of the entire company – not just individual departments – is at stake!
