Project Portfolio Management For Business Transformation

Overview

We live in times of unprecedented change. As competitive pressures mount, organisations need more than ever to operate at peak levels of performance.

Consequently, many organisations are now transforming their businesses to save costs, create more client-centricity, restore stakeholder confidence and/or embed new business models. Selecting the right programs and projects to invest in is crucial to ensuring the organisation’s long-term success. This can be realised by effective portfolio management as it provides a mechanism for the organisation to ensure that the strategy is translated into tangible programs and projects.
