Unlock Portfolio Value with Portfolio Optimisation Tool

  1. Maximise business value by prioritising projects based on strategic importance and deliverability factors.
  2. Improve project success rates by optimising decision making, resource allocation, and risk management.
  3. Receive tailored recommendations that align with organisational goals and available capacity.
  4. Access a summary dashboard for insights on project rankings and strategic balance.

The Portfolio Optimisation Tool (POT) is a holistic portfolio solution incorporating Seven Consulting’s extensive industry experience to improve portfolio management. Its full suite of portfolio functions allows portfolio managers to:

  • Capture business and project information, including dependencies, constraints, and the organisational objectives used for determining prioritisation.
  • Provide recommendations on project prioritisation according to alignment to organisational objectives and available capacity.
  • Present a summary portfolio dashboard that offers leadership a clear view of project rankings, and business versus deliverability factors.
  • Allow executives to override prioritisation recommendations, reflecting the group’s final decisions while highlighting any loss of benefits and resource gaps.

The Portfolio Optimisation Tool operates through several key functions.

  • It captures weighted organisational objectives and project characteristics.
  • It calculates weighted scores based on customised factors and aligns project portfolios with organisational capacity.
  • It provides a summary portfolio dashboard with project rankings, through data-driven prioritisation and resource allocation. These may be over-ridden at executive discretion with these decisions recorded and impacts noted.

The Portfolio Optimisation Tool facilitates a consistent and objective prioritisation process that:

  • Fosters executive decision making using prioritisation criteria, weightings, and capacity considerations, ensuring a repeatable and adaptable framework.
  • Drives data-driven decision making by integrating both quantitative data and qualitative insights.
  • Provides the flexibility to incorporate unanticipated needs and adjusts for changes in project benefits and costs.
  • Supports the ongoing alignment of resources with business imperatives.
  • Enhances overall project management efficiency.

Use of the Portfolio Optimisation Tool will provide several key outcomes, these include:

  • A prioritised project portfolio, with clear information on which projects the organisation should continue, stop, start, or defer.
  • A comprehensive project pipeline view, detailing project backlog, inflight, and completed initiatives.
  • An updated assessment of the optimised organisational delivery capacity, with confidence that resources are allocated to the most critical projects.
  • A robust and sustainable framework for regular portfolio reviews and adjustments, maintaining alignment with organisational goals and funding priorities.

Why POT

It is essential for every organisation to focus on the right projects to deliver business value. Faced with many projects and limited capacity, resources are often allocated to the most influential stakeholders, rather than the most strategically important projects. This of course means organisations do not always achieve the best possible benefit from their investment. The Portfolio Optimisation Tool ensures:

  • Structured Prioritisation: Ensures a consistent and objective approach to ranking projects.
  • Enhanced Decision-Making: Delivers data-driven recommendations reducing the influence of subjective stakeholder pressures on project selection.
  • Optimised Organisational Resource Allocation: Aligns projects with organisational capacity constraints and improves efficiency and maximise portfolio ROI.
