Mastering Portfolios,
Programmes & Projects

Strategic objectives are crucial for maintaining a competitive advantage, but how can an organization effectively manage the delivery of these goals? How do you ensure that strategic objectives are aligned with work results, and that the outputs lead to outcomes that achieve strategic value?

The key lies in effective Governance. A robust governance structure identifies future needs and supports the selection, management, control, and measurement of strategic initiatives to meet those needs. This structure is built upon three fundamental pillars: portfolios, programmes, and projects.
