The Challenge

• Strategic Alignment: Limited visibility of how portfolio investments supported organizational strategy and capability development hindered effective decision-making.
• Lack of Visibility: Limited insights into portfolio health made it difficult for leaders to make timely, informed decisions.
• Decision-Making Complexity: The need for connected data to adapt to changing priorities and manage multi-year programs with agility was critical.
• Inefficient Governance Processes: Manual processes for investment prioritization and reporting consumed significant resources and slowed decision-making.
• Disconnected Data: Siloed systems hindered collaboration and reduced operational efficiency.
