Every November the Cambridge Healthtech Institute hosts a portfolio management conference for the life sciences industry that spans both operational and strategic portfolio management. We find it to be the best portfolio management conference in the U.S., and to steal a page from movie critics, “If you only go to one portfolio conference this year…”...
I was speaking with a client at a large government-supported research lab the other day, and he reminded me of the success we enjoyed deploying the Enrich Portfolio System to support their annual portfolio process. When this group approached Enrich, they asked for help picking the winners within their portfolio, and justifying budget increases to...
We sponsored the 2012 Industrial Research Institute (IRI) Annual Meeting this month, and the primary topic was how to drive innovation in large organizations. These organizations have become large because they’re very good at some “thing”, which for the sake of simplicity we’ll call a core competency. This core competency is typically focused on a particular type...
Application Portfolio Management (APM) ist ein Prozess, mit dem versucht wird, die Anwendungsleistung und die Ausgaben im Laufe der Zeit zu erfassen. Kürzlich hat Gartner einen Bericht veröffentlicht, in dem es heißt: "Weniger als 10% der globalen 2000 Unternehmen kennen die vollen Kosten ihrer Anwendungen." ¹ Warum schaffen es so viele Organisationen nicht, dies richtig zu tun? Ich glaube, diese Organisationen sind...
Will the real efficient frontier please stand up? Each year, we attend many conferences focused on the themes of new product development, innovation, and portfolio management. One of my biggest pet peeves at these conferences arises when speakers discussing project prioritization present a scatter chart with individual projects cumulatively plotted in descending order of bang-for-the-buck...
They are dark times indeed when each day brings another tale of an industry stalwart shedding 1,000, 2,000, or even 10.000 jobs. It is especially daunting when companies are forced to make those cuts within research and development, the lifeblood of innovation and long-term survival. To our minds here at Enrich, there is an even...
Viele Unternehmen verbringen viel Zeit mit der Verwaltung von Produkt- und Projektportfolios. Schließlich ist es das, was Innovationen und strategische Veränderungen im Unternehmen antreibt. Normalerweise werden 30 bis 40 Prozent des IT-Budgets dafür aufgewendet. Aber wie gehen wir mit den restlichen 60 Prozent um? Ein Bereich, der einen großen Teil der...
Many of my recent discussions with portfolio staff have centered around the distinctions between project management and strategic R&D portfolio management applications. Often I hear a variant of the statement “We already have/are installing a capacity planning software. It does portfolio management…why would we need a dedicated strategic portfolio system?” In reality, there are critical...
The use of dashboards has been spreading throughout organizations. From tracking manufacturing performance to the latest sales numbers, dashboards aim to provide a quick, comprehensive snapshot of how well an organization, business unit, or project is performing. As R&D Portfolio Management processes mature within organizations, they evolve from once-a-year budgeting activities to evergreen processes that...
Rocks in the river When selecting projects for the portfolio, practitioners of Strategic Capacity Planning often exclusively consider financial constraints. Though the terminology varies across industries–outside costs, out-of-pocket expenditures, external expenditure–the concept is the same: money spent on something other than staff. If internal resources are considered at all, it is usually at a very...
