Example of Our Method and Tailored Solution

1. Conduct a comprehensive portfolio review and resource assessment:
   • Use SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) and performance diagnostics as an example.
2. Solution Development:
   • Implement Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to pinpoint issues and develop targeted interventions.
3. Prioritize solutions based on strategic alignment and resource availability
   • Utilize a Weighted Scoring Model to rank solutions by impact and feasibility.
4. Develop a detailed implementation plan
   • Technique: Use Gantt Charts for scheduling and resource allocation, and develop a Risk Mitigation Plan.
5. Implementation:
   • Recommend project Management Software for tracking progress and dependencies.
   • Agile methodologies for iterative improvements.
6. Monitor the implementation and make necessary adjustments
   • Use Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and dashboards to track progress and make data-driven decisions.
7. Review the outcomes and optimize the portfolio management process
   • Conduct Post-Implementation Reviews and Continuous Improvement cycles using Lean Six Sigma.
8. Knowledge Record and Training
   • Record lessons learned.
   • Make necessary training to cover the skills gaps.
   • Training for the new system.
   • Build a training guide for future use for new employees.
