Making Sense of Change and Gaining Visibility: Six Signals of Success

The second in a series of four thought leadership reports from APM’s portfolio management Specific Interest Group that will provide practical insight into gaining visibility of the portfolio across an organisation and making sense of it. Gaining full visibility of change across the portfolio is not for the fainthearted, and there will be many successes and many challenges on the journey. There is no one answer to every context, and each organisation must carefully plan and manage its own journey to success. Effective management information is such a critical part of managing any change portfolio.  The six signals of success provide meaningful insight into what success really looks like.

Making Sense of the Change

Maturity of information is rapidly increasing, yet the case for increased scale and pace is evident across most organisations – a journey on the road less travelled. Business intelligence plays a key role in supporting decision-making across organisations, particularly in challenging times. Yet organisations are too often challenged to get accurate, timely and accessible information on their change portfolio – many for reasons of raw availability, others for political navigation and expediency. This report provides practical insight into the journey drawing directly on the experience of the author as a leader of change.
 
The APM's portfolio management SIG are sure that you will find the report valuable and they look forward to your thoughts and feedback.
