Pain Points

1Our organization struggles to execute our desired strategy across the existing portfolio structure, resulting in lost revenue, inability to meet our strategic goals, and decreased market share.
2Our partner selection processes are slow, siloed, and misaligned with evolving business needs.
3We often make investment decisions based on unvalidated assumptions, leading to wasted resources and delayed or unrealized value.

Key Features

2Value streams and Epics connected to a governance model (VMO, Enterprise Architect) with regular measurement via OKRs and KPIs.
3Build-Measure-Learn approach to validateEpic MVPs, reducing waste and de-risking investment decisions.
4Competency-based structure across disciplines (Lean Portfolio Management, Team and Technical Agility, Product Development Flow, Large Solution Integration and Delivery, Leadership and Culture) with ongoing, batch-based rollout.
5Integrated planning, coordination, and governance mechanisms to enable decentralized decision-making and ongoing prioritization of the most valuable work.
