Building on a Strong Foundation

A physical foundation is a basic component of any structure and one of the most important. When it comes to organizational performance, the ability to improve highly depends on the health and maturity of project, program, and portfolio management as the foundational pieces of the organization’s delivery capability. A well-defined strategic vision that lacks the backing of the right projects to carry it out will bring zero value to the organization, even if these projects are implemented with quality, on time, and on budget. Likewise, the right project with a project plan that does not capture the entire scope of work or makes it difficult to incorporate changes and assess their impact in a timely manner is not likely to succeed. Most of the effort would be spent on the act of keeping it upright, as balancing an inverted pyramid, instead of focusing on executing the work and managing change at a steady pace towards the goal.  The list of examples can be endless.

At the end of the day, the most skillful application of the best project management techniques or the most sophisticated project process automation solution will not be able to compensate for the lack of 1) a solid organizational strategy, 2) an easy-to-execute portfolio management process, and 3) the ability to structure a project or program schedule in such a way that makes it easy to manage and ensures nothing gets missed. These foundational components are a must to ensure a firm basis for timely and critical decision-making that drives the success of organizations.
