- 13. Why the Shift? Because digital business leaders are increasingly generating a continuous flux of threats and opportunities with significant digital business implications. Responding to these threats and opportunities often requires a significant amount of effort and cost. It also requires effective orchestration and governance at scale — both of which are provided by an effective EPMO. Core EPMO functions, such as the execution of large, enterprise-wide initiatives and quick, effective portfolio prioritization, as two of the most coveted capabilities for digital business success With the right strategic relationships, a core focus on achieving key business objectives and outcomes, and positioning in the appropriate place in the enterprise, an EPMO can significantly improve the enterprise’s ability to execute a digital strategy and deliver value.

- 16. Leadership requires SPM to support enterprise-wide strategy-to- execution alignment and adaptation. Definition of key business strategies and desired business outcomes, and mapping key portfolio elements, such as business capabilities, investments, programs, digital and physical products, applications, and projects. Capture, define and prioritize business strategies; manage the execution of initiatives and projects that drive the achievement of these strategies; and provide full visibility and management of core functional assets. Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) Supports three key stakeholders from Leadership who sets direction, IT/Functional management who owns the critical assets in infrastructure and Execution teams that plan and deliver projects and products in the pursuit of reaching the business goals. Strategic Portfolio Management is a combination of business capabilities, processes and supporting portfolio management technology.
- 17. Shift Toward SPM to Enable Organizational Agility Key Findings Less than 20% of organizations are highly effective at all three key attributes of strategic portfolio management (SPM) — portfolio alignment, ongoing portfolio flexibility and value-driven decision making. A fragmented approach to designing the future of work can lead to excessive costs due to conflicting priorities, redundant processes and misaligned goals. In a distributed delivery environment, business leaders overemphasize local customer needs while making decisions and unintentionally pull the enterprise away from its strategic objectives. Gartner - Shift Toward Strategic Portfolio Management to Enable Organizational Agility The increasing pace of change and environmental turbulence creates unsustainable strain for organizations. The need for agility will drive strategic portfolio leaders to increase adoption of strategic portfolio management, evolve EPMO capabilities, and change supporting tooling and metrics. SPM has three key attributes: 1. Portfolio alignment 2. Value-driven decision making 3. Ongoing portfolio flexibility A recent Gartner study shows that organizations that are highly effective at all three attributes are approximately twice as likely to drive positive business outcomes.
- 18. Importance of Strategic Portfolio Management in Today's Business Environment Emerging Technologies and Business Models Increasing Complexity in Business Environments Greater Need for Financial & Resource Optimization Demand for Data-Driven Decision Making Adoption of Agile and Other Project Management Methodologies As the business environment becomes more complex and uncertain, organizations are seeking ways to manage risk and optimize their portfolios to ensure they are aligned with their strategic goals.

- 29. 3 Recommendations for Strategic Portfolio Leaders Close, as quickly as possible, GenAI knowledge and skills gaps by training staff to recognize and exploit the potential for strategic portfolio management (SPM) efficiencies. Create portfolio activities, processes, checkpoints and standards designed to assess, evaluate, prioritize and manage GenAI-related portfolio demand from executive and senior leadership. Identify the types of data and data sources GenAI technologies require to optimize processes and activities in and around the SPM life cycle. Partner with the owners of these data sources to enable GenAI use. Document the known and perceived responsibilities of key positions within the SPM life cycle (e.g., portfolio managers, program managers, project managers, resource managers). As GenAI adoption and infusion progresses, change and update these positions and their responsibilities to ensure consistency and common understanding across the critical positions within the SPM life cycle
- 30. Incorporate GenAI Into Overall SPM Practices
- 31. Portfolio management leaders do not need to take unnecessary risks with any GenAI investments, but doing nothing now is risky and leads to missed opportunities. Instead, create a practical GenAI adoption plan featuring three main steps to GenAI business value. * “Digital Business Leaders” is a term used only to describe a general group of key leadership roles in an enterprise (e.g., the C-suite; business executives) The Portfolio Management Leader’s 3 Steps to GenAI Business Value – 2024
- 32. Key Findings Portfolio management leaders are pragmatic and practical by nature, and do not chase new trends or business fads. Unsurprisingly, many are applying an understandably analytical and sense-and-respond approach to generative AI (GenAI) hype, choosing to wait for GenAI to go mainstream and responding when that occurs. Whether portfolio management leaders have a plan for GenAI adoption or not, it will go mainstream in the workplace, which can have both positive and negative impacts on the strategic portfolio management (SPM) life cycle — especially if proper preparation isn’t already in place. Enterprise-wide GenAI access will create challenges and opportunities for portfolio management leaders. Targeted and incremental GenAI training, pilots and adoption efforts designed to optimize strategic planning, and execution can help navigate the challenges and capitalize on improved overall portfolio execution. The Portfolio Management Leader’s 3 Steps to GenAI Business Value – 2024
- 33. Recommendations Adopt a proactive vision and approach to valued GenAI investment focused using three main steps: identify and close gaps, enable and partner, and accelerate and advance. Create a practical GenAI investment plan for optimized strategic planning and execution by accounting for inevitable mainstream GenAI adoption in the enterprise. Track mainstream GenAI adoption in the enterprise to anticipate and overcome any emergent challenges — and execute targeted, incremental GenAI efforts to optimize the SPM life cycle using a clearly understood value proposition for each specific investment.

Editor's Notes
- #2: Purpose of this slide: To answer the question on the previous slide.
- #4: Purpose of this slide: To grab the viewers’ attention and kick off the topic. This statement is the key message you want to send to those representing business leadership in your organization. Delivering this message is the primary purpose for using this presentation. * Because Gartner research focuses on writing to only one role for any one research piece, “Digital Business Leader” is a term only used in this slide deck (and the 2021 survey mentioned above) to describe a general group of business stakeholders responsible for business outcomes. (e.g, “the C-Suite”; Business Executives). “Digital Business Leader” is not an official role defined in Gartner research.
- #5: Purpose of this slide: To create a bit of a “not so fast” moment before continuing the presentation (acknowledging that the audience might not know what is meant by “digital business leader” in the context of this presentation), use this slide and pitch the question as rhetorical. The next slide provides the definition of “digital business leader”, as related to this specific research.
- #6: Purpose of this slide: To highlight the top three challenges among the “digital business leaders” who responded to Gartner’s 2021 Digital Business Leaders Survey for Enterprise PMOs and to ask the audience if these challenges resonate with them in their role in your organization. Key Takeaways: Orchestrating enterprise change, prioritizing and executing on cross-functional investments, and speeding up the delivery of value are the top three challenges “digital business leaders” believe they are facing to achieve digital business success. If your organization is anticipating or facing these challenges as well, then it is not alone. “Digital business leaders”, in a variety of industries, are facing the same top three challenges. So, what are they doing about it? How are they responding? (the answers to these questions are provided in upcoming slides.) This would be a good time to “connect the dots” for the audience. Remind them again who “digital business leaders” are that responded to the survey: They are executives responsible for business decisions and strategies, they are involved in program and portfolio management at the highest strategic levels, they are either the chief strategist or report to the chief strategist, and they are facing challenges requiring strategic portfolio management capabilities that can support the orchestration of enterprise change, ensure the execution of valued cross-functional investments, and increase the speed of value delivery. Survey Details: We asked respondents what they thought their top challenges are for achieving digital business success. Effectively orchestrating enterprise change came out at the top, followed by prioritizing and executing cross-functional investments (such as improving customer experience using data analytics, machine learning, and other technology innovations), Increasing speed of delivery to drive digital business acceleration followed them as the third top challenge to digital business success.
- #7: Purpose of this slide: Divider slide for introducing the next part of content: “How are the ‘digital business leaders’ that answered the survey responding to their top three challenges to digital business success?”
- #9: Purpose of this slide: To answer the question on the previous slide.
- #10: Purpose of this slide: To describe the recognized value of an EPMO for the successful execution of enterprise-wide goals and initiatives, especially among “digital business leaders” that do not have access to an EPMO in their organizations. Key Takeaways: 51% of the “digital business leaders” that responded to the survey do not have an EPMO to address any of the aforementioned requirements and challenges. Of those respondents that do not have an EPMO, 68% of them would be likely or very likely to champion its adoption. “Digital business leaders”, responsible for positive business outcomes, are either using an EPMO to support the aforementioned requirements and challenges, or they do not have access to an EPMO and would be willing to champion one to drive effective SPM into their organization. In either case, both types of respondents recognize the value of the EPMO function and are willing to champion and effort to establish one. For those with an EPMO, only 4% of them would be unlikely to recommend it to others. Survey Details: 68% of respondents without an EPMO would be likely or very likely to champion its adoption.
- #11: Purpose of this slide: To show what “digital business leaders” would value as the top benefits from access to an EPMO. What would be the most important and valued benefits of an EPMO, according to “digital business leaders”? They see value in an EPMO’s ability to help an enterprise execute large enterprise-wide initiatives, as well as quickly and effectively prioritize portfolios. Key Takeaways: “Digital business leaders” that do not have access to an EPMO want the ability to effectively execute on enterprise-wide initiatives, a main benefit of an EPMO function. “Digital business leaders” without an EPMO also want quick and effective portfolio prioritization. These two top prized benefits are not only critical to successful execution, they are interdependent, which can be provided by an EPMO function. Prior CIO survey research in 2019 indicated that enterprise portfolio management was the top inhibitor leading digital CIOs faced to maintain their success in digital business. The results of this survey indicate a growing adoption of EPMOs to support enterprise wide strategy execution. Prioritizing and executing on cross-functional investments is one of the top three challenges all the respondents say they are facing (see Slide #13). The “digital business leaders” that do not have an EPMO want capabilities that can address this top challenge. Survey Details: For “digital business leaders” without an EPMO, execution of large, enterprise-wide initiatives and quick and effective portfolio prioritization are the most valuable benefits of EPMO, as more than half of the respondents without an EPMO reported these two capabilities as one of their top five most valuable benefits. Note: In the survey, we didn’t name these as EPMO benefits; we listed these capabilities and asked how valuable they are to meet digital business challenges to not to bias results.
- #12: Purpose of this slide: To provide a deeper level of detail supporting the previous slide, which lists the top three challenges to digital business success based on the responses of “digital business leaders” for the survey. Key Takeaways: Orchestrating enterprise change, prioritizing and executing on cross-functional investments, and speeding up the delivery of value are the top three challenges “digital business leaders” believe they are facing to achieve digital business success. The fourth and fifth ranked top challenges to digital business success are “implementing key operating model changes” and “deriving business value from digital business investments”, respectively. This slide provides a level of detail that may or may not be appealing to all viewers but is included to support slide #13 if the audience wants to see a bit more detail. Slide #13 should be sufficient to get the point across. Survey Details: We asked respondents to select their top challenges to digital business success. Effectively orchestrating enterprise change came out at the top. 65% of the respondents listed it as one of their top 5 challenges to digital business success. For 20 percent of the respondents, this is the number one challenge (as depicted with the orange bar). The second top challenge is prioritizing and executing on cross-functional investments (such as improving customer experience using data analytics, machine learning, and other technology innovations) with 63% of the respondents reporting it as one of their top 5 challenges (and 15% reported it as their top challenge). Increasing speed of delivery to drive digital business acceleration is the third top challenge, with 62% of the respondents reporting it as one of their top 5 challenges and 12% reporting it as their top challenge.

- #31: Purpose of this slide: To grab the viewers’ attention and kick off the topic. This statement is the key message you want to send to those representing business leadership in your organization. Delivering this message is the primary purpose for using this presentation. * Because Gartner research focuses on writing to only one role for any one research piece, “Digital Business Leader” is a term only used in this slide deck (and the 2021 survey mentioned above) to describe a general group of business stakeholders responsible for business outcomes. (e.g, “the C-Suite”; Business Executives). “Digital Business Leader” is not an official role defined in Gartner research.
