Approach

Your project priority and portfolio management system is designed via a Collaborative Process — Creating the priority system as a team effort ensures that we capture your organization's specific means for creating value, address organizational issues, and generate understanding and necessary buy-in. Pilot tests validate the system design. Software options ensure cost-effective solutions.

Methodology

We use efficient decision analysis processes and accurate valuation models based on simulation, multi-attribute utility analysis, and real options. Multi-attribute utility is a defensible method for quantifying the “soft” benefits of projects (e.g., improved capability, increased knowledge, enhanced brand image). Real options analysis accounts for the impacts of funding choices on future opportunities (a project's current priority depends on whether delaying it is an option). Multi-attribute utility and real options are mathematically sound and well-established theories, not management fads that go in, then out, of fashion.
