For those of you following this space, you know that a few months ago I asked for your participation in a survey that benchmarks today’s product portfolio management opportunities and challenges. To those who joined in: a big thank you! We had an overwhelming response with nearly 1000 participants this year.
I’m pleased to say the results are in and the report is ready to roll off the press. A few tantalizing tidbits to whet your appetites:
- 57% of participants said that one of their top three pain points was having “too many projects for their resources,”
- 42% find their forecasted schedules “mostly to highly inaccurate,”
- "Att inte kunna driva innovation tillräckligt snabbt" rankades som deras 3 tredje största risk YET
- 60% indicated that their organizations are “risk averse to highly risk averse on new product innovation.”
And that, my friends, is just the tip of the iceberg. Of course, all survey participants will receive a copy of the report in the coming weeks. But if you can’t wait that long, attend my session at the free PIPELINE 2010 online conference this Wednesday, November 10th. You can sign up at Pipeline2010.com.
Se hur du ligger till jämfört med dina kollegor, uppdelat efter bransch, befattning, intäkter och rapporteringsstruktur. Tar din organisation ledningen, är du med i flocken eller halkar du efter när det gäller att ta risker, avsluta dåliga projekt och fördela resurser? Nu är det dags att ta reda på det. Och vilka nästa steg kan du ta för att stärka upp där det behövs? Avsnitten om viktiga slutsatser och rekommendationer kan ge dig den vägledning du söker.
Plus, all who attend my session (and of course all participants) will also get a copy of last year’s report, so you can compare where we all stood a year ago to where we are now, and draw your own conclusions about what that might mean for 2011.
Hope to see you at Pipeline 2010!
