In today's dynamic landscape, where customer expectations evolve alongside rapid technological advancements, traditional methods like annual prioritization and funding no longer suffice. Alarming statistics from Gartner reveal that a staggering 75% of all US IT projects are deemed failures by their initiators, underscoring the disconnection between delivered solutions and intended outcomes, even after diligently adhering to conventional portfolio management methodologies.
To thrive in the digital age and fiercely competitive environment, organizations require an approach that seamlessly synchronizes strategy with execution on an ongoing basis. Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) transcends conventional portfolio management by melding lean and agile principles. LPM shines a spotlight on optimizing value delivery, fostering continuous improvement, championing innovation, and aligning strategy with execution.
Empowering Decision Makers and Trailblazers
LPM empowers leaders by offering them vital insight into ongoing efforts. This empowerment stems from assessing progress through incremental achievements and real-time customer input, steering endeavors in the right direction. This iterative process of adjustment or persistence, rooted in tangible data, helps leaders make informed decisions and optimize their investments for maximal returns.
Decentralized Leadership and Bidirectional Objective Setting
In the realm of LPM, decisions are a collective effort, determined by those closest to the frontline. The decentralization of administration cultivates an environment of autonomy and agility, where teams can make well-informed choices. This decentralized approach dovetails with bidirectional objective setting, ensuring that strategic aspirations seamlessly align with execution realities. The result? Flexibility for real-time adjustments and refinements as needed.
Join Me on Thursday, October 26, 2023, at the PMI Global Summit 2023 to embark on a journey to explore how Lean Portfolio Management has galvanized business accomplishments through the synchronization of strategy and execution.
During this session, we will delve into the world of data-driven decision-making, structured intake mechanisms, incremental funding, and the establishment of consistent feedback loops to bolster portfolio planning. Participants will grasp the art of harnessing data to enable lean portfolio management, constructing a protective framework for their portfolios, quantifying impactful metrics, and cultivating a continuous flow of value to the customer, all under the canopy of a reimagined portfolio management paradigm.
As the business sphere evolves at an unprecedented pace, Lean Portfolio Management will inevitably ascend to a core approach. Don't miss this chance to stay ahead of the curve and learn about incessantly recalibrating portfolio trajectory, ensuring alignment despite the ceaseless dynamics of the market. See you there!

Interesting article and thanks for sharing. I believe that Lean Portfolio Mgmt or any other form of strategy-focused portfolio mgmt needs a value management framework to actual drive prioritisation, balancing and the achievement of business value. A VM framework allows for the definition of what value is, or should be, throughout the entire organisation and in particular if opex is considered with capex. More from the PMI published book 'The Business of Portfolio Management - Boosting Organizational Value.
Iain, Thank you for your thoughtful comment. In my experience every organization need to align fully on their definition of value and how it orients to their strategic objectives.
Let's connect and explore more on this topic.
