Manage Your Innovation Portfolios & Projects

Why is innovation portfolio management important?

Innovation portfolio management is a framework for organizations to align their innovation resources and capabilities with strategic goals. It involves prioritizing initiatives, programs, and projects based on market developments, internal capabilities, and resources.

Strategic portfolio management enables your teams to identify gaps or redundancies in project pipelines, allocate resources according to changing business environments, and balance growth initiatives across the organization.

Pursue opportunities that hold the greatest potential

Start by using trends, technologies, ideas, and startups identified from "Where to Play" and "How to Win" phases in a matrix view to help establish the best strategic fit.

Examine new ideas and forms of value creation while also exploiting existing capabilities. Map, analyze, and qualify opportunities and innovation projects to balance quick wins and moonshots. Move forward with innovation initiatives that are most aligned with internal capabilities and business goals.

Identify synergies, gaps, or redundancies across your innovation portfolios to optimize results.
