The Business Need
Sound strategic planning is fundamental to achieving business objectives. Execution of the strategy is difficult and the complexities created by out of sync and competing activities, processes, functional groups and systems across the organization create many obstacles on the road to success. Constant change, corporate politics, functional silos and many other factors affect progress toward business objectives.
A sound business plan and clearly defined goals are essential, but the key to successful execution is understanding how to accomplish those goals. This paper looks at process relationships and
information flow across the business from strategic planning to achievement of the strategy, from great ideas to benefits realization. To ensure the business efficiently and effectively achieves its strategy, the organization must optimize the outcomes from their processes across the entire lifecycle.

With ever-increasing scrutiny of Federal IT initiatives’ performance (e.g., Federal CIO, Federal IT Dashboard, TechStat Sessions, Financial Systems Advisory Board, GAO reports, cancelled projects, etc.), the need for sound Portfolio Management and Performance Management is quickly coming to the forefront. Unfortunately, these disciplines often suffer from ill-defined processes, disjointed tools and inconsistent education. At the same time, agencies are banking on the success of their IT initiatives with large investments of time and resources. A cohesive solution of processes, tools and education is needed to bring the focus back to mission objectives and performance relative to those objectives.
What else do you believe are symptoms, contributors to this problem, and possible solutions?
