The Power of Corporate Portfolio Management 

 
“…How business really gets done has little connection to the strategy developed at corporate headquarters. Rather, strategy is crafted, step by step, as managers at all levels of a company – be it a small firm or a large multinational – commit resources to policies, programs, people and facilities. Because this is true, senior management might consider focusing less attention on thinking through the company’s formal strategy and more attention on the processes by which the company allocates resources.”  
“How Managers’ Everyday Decisions Create – or Destroy – Your Company’s Strategy”
Source: Harvard Business Review, Feb 2007
 
Since resource allocation determines strategy, why do so few companies optimize their resource allocation?  More importantly, why isn't your organization optimizing its resource allocation? 

Corporate Portfolio Management enables organizations to do just this.  Because of its rigor, CPM helps organizations make data-driven (as opposed to decibel-driven) decisions so that it can make better choices about discretionary investments and projects it undertakes.

 

Additionally, because CPM creates a performance feedback loop, it actually enables better execution on an ongoing basis.  Improved strategy and better execution - can you afford not to adopt Corporate Portfolio Management?
