What tools do you rely on? Are these tools up-to-speed with today\u2019s digital transformation? If you hesitate on any of your answers, this is the blog for you. While we have already discussed previously in this blog series how to best measure digital transformation, how to deliver on strategy in this digitally connected world, and how to drive innovation, we have yet to analyze just how digital transformation impacts investment decisions\u2014until now. Let\u2019s get started with a quick review of this series:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/an-executives-guide-to-measuring-digital-transformation\/\">Part 1<\/a>:<\/strong>\u201cThere must be coordination not only within each separate initiative, but it must span across a broad set of outcomes and organizational silos.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/executives-guide-to-delivering-on-strategy-in-a-digitally-connected-world\/\">Part 2<\/a>:<\/strong>\u201cConsolidated, visual roadmaps will not only enable you to translate strategy on an organization-wide scale, but will be the link between strategy and investments, products, services, and outcomes that drive digital transformation.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/an-executives-guide-to-driving-innovation\/\">Part 3<\/a>:<\/strong>\u201cOrganizations need to leverage forward-thinking talent, equipped with automated tools, to create consistent, repeatable delivery of products and improve time-to-market.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On top of having effective collaboration and communication methods that enable your organization to innovate and deliver products to the market faster than the competition, you must be able to also choose the best investments that please all stakeholders. Yet, according to HBR, \u201conly 11% of firms have the resources they need for their company\u2019s strategic priorities,\u201d a clear sign that the vast majority of companies are not up to speed with digital transformation.<\/p>\n<p>Your organization doesn\u2019t have to be one of them. Here are a few simple tips to help you make more informed investment decisions and speed your strategic funding and resource allocation.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/info.planview.com\/digital-transformation-ebook-_ebook_wrm_en_reg.html?_ga=2.244295045.1286994285.1534885560-574875710.1486332256&amp;_gac=1.241444534.1534343390.EAIaIQobChMI7bDEwKLv3AIV141-Ch0SigeUEAAYASAAEgL9qfD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7085\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/DT-eBook-cover.jpg\" alt=\"Deliver Your Digital Transformation Strategy at Speed Executive Guide\" width=\"657\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/DT-eBook-cover.jpg 1308w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/DT-eBook-cover-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/DT-eBook-cover-768x420.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/DT-eBook-cover-1024x561.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/DT-eBook-cover-750x411.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 657px) 100vw, 657px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Put an end to manual portfolio analysis.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This is the cause of a lot of wasted time and money for many organizations. It\u2019s tedious enough to search through your entire array of portfolios for necessary data, but on top of that you have to wonder about that data\u2019s accuracy\u2014who knows what was overlooked in the process. You need to have access to the right data, any time, and this can be achieved through automated processes. Only then will you be able to make faster decisions across different portfolios, maximizing your revenue earnings potential and expanding your market share.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Stop staying yes to everything. <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You can\u2019t invest in every initiative in the hopes one of them will be successful. Not only does this clog your product portfolio with lower-value initiatives, but it is simply a waste of precious resources. Rather than evaluating each new idea in a vacuum, conduct an intelligent analysis within the context of the current portfolio. With greater insight into the right ideas (and greater ability to say \u201cno\u201d to the bad ones) you will achieve the advantage of being able to pivot your portfolio quickly in line with rapidly changing technology and new competitors entering the market on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Improve your ability to plan, analyze, and prioritize investments.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Again, be able to do so within the context of your entire product portfolio, not in isolated siloes. With consolidated, accurate information, you won\u2019t have to worry as much about selecting the ideal investment(s)\u2014they will stand out to you when clearly compared to the alternatives. Further, you can create what-if scenarios according to strategy, capability, and the market to determine the right portfolio mix of projects, products, and services.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Reap the benefits.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Obviously, this is the best \u201ctip\u201d of them all. Once you\u2019ve implemented automated processes and improved your ability to analyze initiatives and effectively allocate resources, you will have a clear advantage over the competition in being able to prioritize investments and only say \u201cyes\u201d to the best ones. Here are a few of the top benefits of more informed investment decisions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Reduce costs.<\/strong>By prioritizing highest value investments, you will have the ability to shift spending and resources from lower-value projects.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make faster, more informed trade-off decisions.<\/strong>Approve and execute digital programs while optimizing resource capacity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Balance the portfolio.<\/strong>Achieve strategic objectives with the right combination of initiatives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>For more information on succeeding in today\u2019s world of digital transformation, check out the eBook, \u201c<a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/info.planview.com\/digital-transformation-ebook-_ebook_wrm_en_reg.html?_ga=2.244295045.1286994285.1534885560-574875710.1486332256&amp;_gac=1.241444534.1534343390.EAIaIQobChMI7bDEwKLv3AIV141-Ch0SigeUEAAYASAAEgL9qfD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Deliver Your Digital Transformation Strategy at Speed: An Executive Guide<\/a>,\u201d and continue learning by reading the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/an-executives-guide-to-executing-faster-and-increasing-productivity\/\">next part of this series<\/a>, where I will discuss how your organization can increase productivity and execute on initiatives faster.<\/p>\n<p>For more on this series, continue reading the next installments:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/an-executives-guide-to-executing-faster-and-increasing-productivity\/\">Part 5: An Executive&#8217;s Guide to Executing Faster and Increasing Productivity<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/an-executives-guide-to-business-transformation\/\">Part 6: An Executive&#8217;s Guide to Business Transformation<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/info.planview.com\/wrm-is-now-_ebook_wrm_en_reg.html?_ga=2.177128869.1286994285.1534885560-574875710.1486332256&amp;_gac=1.178602512.1534343390.EAIaIQobChMI7bDEwKLv3AIV141-Ch0SigeUEAAYASAAEgL9qfD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6552 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/wrm-is-now-ebook-600x200.jpg\" alt=\"Work and Resource Management is Now eBook\" width=\"600\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/wrm-is-now-ebook-600x200.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/wrm-is-now-ebook-600x200-300x100.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you make investment decisions?
