"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

Maximizing Human Potential
Companies hire people for their expertise and knowledge to help them create and deliver value to their customers. All too often, we hear about companies who lose valuable people along with their years of experience with the products, processes, and systems.
When organizations deploy human resources, they are focused on their unit value for a project or as part of a unit / team providing one or more operational services. This approach has limitations since a person brings domain and technical knowledge, functional expertise, core competencies, and social skills. It's a daunting task to capture all this information about each resource and even more challenging to optimally deploy people where (and when) they can provide the most value.
​
We help clients optimize their human resources and extend their strategic sourcing across 3rd party resources using a value-based model versus a cost/unit productivity model to:
​
-
Identify and allocate resources (human and machine) for work
-
Capture skills, knowledge, and expertise for resources
-
Balance work allocation across projects and operations
-
Identify and deploy resources in a balanced manner across projects and operational activities
-
Improve estimation for work and reliability of commitments
-
Identify impact of changes to resources upon the organization and work (operations and projects)
