Editor's Notes
CEO’s and boards are sending messages to control expenses CIO’s are being hit with mixed messages Who’s doling out the conflicting demands – all sides of the business The wise CIO learns to use a portfolio management approach to prioritize what they need to do. That allows them to to trade risk for return and strategic versus “nice-to-have.”
Business Has Driven the Evolution of IT from “Order Taker” to Full Integration… The role of IT in this stage is not considered strategic in terms of supporting business growth, the cost of IT is. Therefore, the primary focus of IT organizations at this stage is cost management and operational efficiency. The role of IT is considered to be somewhat strategic in supporting growth and looking for new ways to enhance profitability. Aggressive IT investments are often made at this stage. The IT organization still plays a provider role but is held to more rigorous cost and performance standards, with a view to behaving as a free-market competitor. The IT organization acts like a business and is managed like a business. This is the stage of portfolio management. In this stage, the IT organization manages its portfolio of activities - from baseline business support to asset renewal and development to high-risk business/IT ventures
The feature/functionality per dollar spent on technology has risen at an astounding rate. That means that the number of dollars that have to be spent to provide a level of capability has fallen dramatically. The blue line is based on the most conservative findings of studies that show the IT dollar/benefit to be falling at a range of 25% to 40% compounded over the last decade or so. In contrast, personnel costs have risen steadily over that period of time. The graph represents the crossover and ultimate reversal of a 10:1 ratio comparing the value of IT to costs of manpower and overhead. The dates and dollars are representative, but the message is clear. We must shift focus on the cost of IT to the value of business performance.
Definition : The portfolio management process is a continuous one that pervades the management of the somewhat &quot;static&quot; assets (existing applications, hardware, etc.) and the &quot;active&quot; assets (projects, etc). It is the continuous analysis of new opportunities, the performance of existing assets, and the interaction of devoting resources to new opportunities. It is critical that an enterprise's IT assets be fully, aligned with business needs and actively managed from an investment perspective (risk, yield, benefits, etc.), The key operating considerations for portfolio management of IT are the continuous monitoring of existing &quot;investment&quot; performance (the portfolio component) and the process for adjusting the portfolio through &quot;projects&quot; that impact it. Investment performance should be monitored through visibility of cost, risk, benefits/yield, and alignment with goals.

IT assets, like assets in a personal portfolio, should be managed with a “buy, sell, or hold” mentality. We find that many organizations, like many investors, are good at buying, but have difficulty in determining when to “sell” — in this case, when to move away from certain technologies and applications.
There are 2 main goals of project portfolio management: 1. Balance risk and reward. The portfolio management approach enables companies to deploy a consistent decision-making process that systematically weighs risks and rewards for each critical business and IT decision. This consistent process also helps maintain the “right mix” of investments — appropriately balancing risks and expected returns — and helps align the IT portfolio with the overall risk/reward profile of the organization. 2. Improve communication with business leaders and within the IT organization. Using portfolio management as a communication technique helps IT organizations solve two of their biggest challenges: articulating IT decisions in business terms and improving communication with the business. Moreover, this can help the IT organization better understand its own goals.
Projects that expand the portfolio – additional applications Projects that renew elements of the portfolio – data scrubbing, enhancements Projects that correct problems within the portfolio – maintenance . Portfolio management is simply the most effective strategy for achieving sustainable IT/business alignment. IT organizations that fail to employ portfolio management risk sliding into a trap of business-as-usual complacency, while falling behind competitors that exploit this highly effective approach.
EVA equals net operating profit minus appropriate capital charges. TCO is an efficiency measure best used for helping service-oriented departments like IT squeeze better price and performance ratios out of key business processes. TEI is a decision-support methodology designed to accommodate risk and flexibility - deferred or potential benefits often left out of straight cost-benefit analyses. REJ ( Microsoft's) seeks to flesh out TCO by aligning IT expenditures with business priorities. BS joins traditional finance lag indicators with operational metrics and integrates them into a broader framework that accounted for intangibles. IE aims to provide a neutral method of evaluating a portfolio of projects and allocating resources where they will be of greatest benefit. PM To contribute to a company's bottom line, organizations must view IT staff and projects not as costs but as assets managed by the same criteria a fund manager would apply to any other investment. ITS modeled after Balanced Scorecard, but uses four perspectives, business growth, productivity, quality (both internal and external to IT) and decision making. ROV aims to put a quantifiable value on flexibility. The technique was applied to leasing, mergers and acquisitions, and manufacturing. IE combines options theory, modern portfolio theory, traditional accounting measures like NPV, ROI and IRR, and a raft of actuarial statistics to quantify uncertain outcomes and generate a bell curve of expected results that objectively incorporates both risk and return..

There is an impact to the business value when productivity is impacted due to improper technology (applications, network, infrastructure, SLA, etc.)
This is a “Dashboard” view of the variables affecting the value (economic) results of a system/application, either proposed or in actual production. From this view, one can see what effect a single component has on the value. What-if scenarios can be played out by changing each variable separately or in conjunction with one another. Note that the payback period is a little over 32 months, looking at just the technology parameters.

Note the payback period is now just under 10 months considering the business and technology parameters.
What Do You Get From A TVO Process? {Click} Everything is accomplished by the facilitated capture and analysis of pertinent business and IT knowledge. {Click} The first deliverable is a current state assessment, or put more simply, a baseline of what is happening today. This baseline provides an understanding of the value of the current production systems (infrastructure, applications, networks, etc). {Click} The typical company has a portfolio of proposed initiatives or projects under consideration. The analysis of these proposed initiatives, sometimes a managed project portfolio, is folded in to the baseline defined in the previous phase. {Click}Out of this comes the final deliverable, a comparative analysis of proposed solutions. Here is where a TVO Assessment really pays off…by providing an easy to understand comparison of alternatives. Leaders now have reliable decision points upon which to build their business case. And they also have the ability to test the underlying assumptions with “what-if” scenarios which can be regenerated almost instantly with our proprietary toolkit. {Click} Finally, ongoing support can be provided, consisting of determining the value of new projects to the business, considering them to be implemented and using the baseline to determine the value of each new project either independently or as an enterprise portfolio.
