Why are too many organizations failing in their strategic initiatives?

In a recent ServiceNow survey, just 30% of respondents indicated they were able to achieve expected business outcomes for more than 70% of their strategic initiatives. However, 42% failed to achieve outcomes for more than half of their strategic projects.

Those are striking statistics, but what’s worse is they’re consistent over many years. Things aren’t getting better. Clearly a new approach to strategic planning is needed.

Discover in this e-book how strategic portfolio management (SPM), a discipline that has strategic planning at its core, can help you overcome this strategic project gap by connecting all aspects of strategy, from the initial setting of priorities to the achievement of objectives.

  • 3 essential steps for driving strategic outcomes with SPM

    According to Gartner, by 2025, 70% of digital investments will fail to deliver the expected business outcomes in the absence of a strategic portfolio management (SPM) approach.

    Yet, even with so much at stake, decision makers still struggle. Too often, they have poor visibility into projects, programs, products, and services. And they lack clarity about the desired business outcomes or benefits realized across IT and various lines of business.

    Dive into this white paper for your 3-step roadmap for driving critical outcomes across your organization by adopting SPM as a strategic fulcrum.

  • Closing the gap between ideas and outcomes with SPM solutions
