Portfolio Management – Linking Strategy with Execution
Montclair, NJ. (PRWEB) April 26, 2016 -- PMO Advisory has consistently been the leader in developing and continuously improving its consulting offerings and training courses through research and thought leadership. The firm dedicates its resources addressing the challenges of business execution – getting the right things done in the right way. A number of recent studies have demonstrated a poor state of strategy implementation, with a corresponding failure rate as high as 90%. While dismal, the silver lining is that there are practices that work, and using portfolio management as the bridge to link strategy with execution has proven to increase organizational and project performance.
Dr. Edward Chapel, Senior Vice President of NJEDge, and Prof. Te Wu of PMO Advisory, are jointly presenting at the upcoming Project Management Institute’s New Jersey Chapter (PMI-NJ) at their annual symposium to highlight ways in which organizations can improve alignment between strategy and execution, through the practice of portfolio management. The presentation will present a number of recent studies, combined with real case studies from financial services to higher education. The goal of the presentation is to offer a better methodology to align projects and programs with strategic goals and objectives. “Project/Program Portfolio Management provides the organizations that comprise NJEDge.Net with an invaluable tool to ensure that strategy and resource investments are well aligned while mitigating risk to successful outcomes,” stated Dr. Edward Chapel, Senior Vice President of NJEDge.
“Even though portfolio management has existed since the dawn of Strategy as a School of Management in the early 1960’s, it is only recently that organizations have started to apply this discipline. In response to this growing momentum, the Project Management Institute (PMI) established a new Portfolio Management Professional (PfMP®) credential in 2014 to highlight its importance,” says Prof. Te Wu, CEO and Founder of PMO Advisory, himself certified in PfMP. “Since resources are precious and scarce, successful organizations embrace portfolio management to prioritize and select optimal investment choices.”
PMO Advisory maintains its leadership in project portfolio management through training, publishing, consulting, research, and volunteering. The firm, a PMI Global R.E.P., started offering Portfolio Management training in the same month (May 2014) that PMI released the exam results of the early adopters. Prof. Wu’s book, The Sensible Guide to Passing the PfMP Exam, is the best seller and the highest rated of its kind on Amazon.com. The firm has helped many organizations, including Global 500 companies, build PMOs with portfolio management processes. It also has one of the largest LinkedIn Groups for portfolio management, which is used as a platform to engage practitioners and thought leaders for research and collaboration. Perhaps most importantly, PMO Advisory CEO, Prof. Te Wu, is an active volunteer with PMI and other professional institutes. He is currently a core committee member responsible for creating the next edition of The Standard for Portfolio Management for PMI Global.
