"Fluid" Prioritization
Due to the dynamic nature of change, prioritization is no longer a discrete process that is performed at the front end of lifecycle development. Continuous change requires ongoing monitoring of external and internal inputs that can impact one project or many projects (even entire portfolios and beyond). Governance needs to be married to prioritization and elevated to support a more fluid process. Portfolio managers have to embrace a more dynamic model capable of aligning, rationalizing, and prioritizing initiatives to address the following impacts (partial list):
-
Risk (Data, Security, Operations, ...)
-
Budgets & Funding
-
Resources (employees & vendors)
-
Products & Services
-
Customers & Partners
-
Commitments (contracts & promises)
-
Strategy & Operations
-
Stakeholders (shareholders are but one)
Is it any wonder why decision makers, subject matter experts (SMEs), and executives are involved in so many meetings ? The current approaches are not scalable and you can't apply Agile to just work faster.
We can help you work smarter (not harder) so you can balance the above list of challenges. Some of the assistance includes:
-
Selection of technologies to harmonize the inputs
-
Data modeling and process design
-
Integrate Prioritization & Governance
-
Shift from discrete prioritization to continuous flow
-
Prioritization modeling and business case evaluation
-
Issue & Defect Management

Driving Innovation

Building Your Innovation Pipeline
Sustaining innovation is perhaps the hardest challenge in companies. Portfolio budgets (for project-based work) are built around operational and strategic objectives, with perhaps some buffer for unplanned work. The challenge is to now carve out additional monies to fund ideas and that is where most innovation pipelines run into a brick wall or get defunded over time.
We understand these challenges and work with organizations to:
-
Develop or extend their business case evaluation model to ensure ideas and concepts are prioritized and slotted with existing initiatives
-
Rationalize portfolios of initiatives to ensure ideas and concepts find their way into lifecycle development (in progress queues)
-
Provide dynamic impact analysis to support Fluid Prioritization so decision makers can evaluate trade-offs when allocating resources to innovation initiatives
-
Develop measures to evaluate impact of ideas and the initiatives (born of the idea) on strategy (including products & services), execution, and operations
-
Work with portfolio management, quality management, and development (product and systems) teams to create a more fluid process for incorporating ideas into Solution Design
