    \n
  1. Focus on Outcomes\/Goals\/Customers <\/strong>\u2013 Use business questions to help determine and drive portfolio management capabilities that tie to ultimate outcomes and benefits. This allows you to help align the organization toward customer and business stakeholder needs. It is important that you speak the language of both executives and customers.<\/li>\n
  2. Executive Involvement <\/strong>\u2013 Lack of executive commitment is a leading cause of failure in PMO initiatives. It is essential that you ensure executives use the data from reports and systems, and are actively engaged in new methods. It is also critical to make sure executives have adequate visibility with dashboards and analytics for effective decision-making and course correction.<\/li>\n
  3. Inclusion Over Compliance <\/strong>\u2013 Instead of being the methodology police, use capabilities and outcomes to engage people in improvement efforts and provide greater customer satisfaction. It will pay off in the long run.<\/li>\n
  4. Guidelines\/Checklists Over Rules <\/strong>\u2013 Encourage the use of guidelines and checklists where applicable to minimize approval steps and bureaucracy. Being too rule-heavy can slow down the process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
