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.
Ensure better transitions from ideas to implementation
Enrich selected opportunities with evidence from internal and external experts on one digital innovation platform. Link trends, technologies, and inspirations to strengthen concepts and bring all initiatives and projects into view on easy-to-use Kanban boards.
Define certain criteria, tasks, or deliverables that projects must go through to move to the next phase. Use workflows to standardize processes and improve project health and status transparency.
Calculate budgets and forecast the impact on projects. Allocate resources at the right time and manage the time-cost relationship of projects.
Connect innovation initiatives and keep stakeholders informed
Innovation is not isolated to the R&D department. Expand it! Ensure your organization is not wasting efforts by focusing only on today's challenges. Connect innovation portfolios and aggregate project information to inform prioritization and align resources.
Manage your resources effectively. Use gap analysis and project monitoring to plan capacities and responsibilities in your company. Deep dive into project details and define KPIs for continued monitoring.
Integrate the opportunities brought by startups into your innovation process. Optimize investments and realize potential.
Manage your innovation portfolio by developing integrated project pipelines to execute innovation initiatives effectively. Monitor innovation projects and sync efforts by organizing project activities on the ITONICS Roadmap.
