Our Design Principles for the Strategy-to-Execution Process
According to a well-known technology research and consulting firm in 2022:
“Organizations that dynamically reallocate resources based on changing strategic priorities are 5x more likely to achieve SPM.”
This is exactly what Meisterplan can help you achieve as you…
See Plans at the Portfolio Level
Get a broader perspective to align strategic goals and see a holistic view of priorities across projects and teams. Meanwhile, teams continue to work how they always have.
Continuously Make Decisions
Align top-down and bottom-up perspectives so you can weigh all of your strategic options at any time. Use minimal but accurate data for maximum flexibility and adaptability.
Involve All Roles So They All Benefit
Gather the information you need and encourage regular communication between stakeholders. Make clear what needs to be contributed and how it supports the people involved.
The Best-Kept Secret for SPM Success
Step one is asking the essential questions: Which projects should you be working on? When? Do you have the resource capacity for them?
- Meisterplan is a lightweight portfolio management solution that gives you the transparency you need align strategy across departments and locations.
- Visualize your project timelines at a glance using interactive Gantt charts and histograms.
- Understand how your plans are progressing in real time and quickly identify any resource conflicts.
Resource Capacity Management Matters
A survey by the Harvard Business Review showed that the top barriers when implementing strategy are having too many initiatives at once, and insufficient resource management.
- With Meisterplan, you always know employees’ real availabilities, including planned absences and existing commitments.
- Ensure the highest priority projects are staffed first to keep in line with your strategic goals.
- Adjust timelines and allocations whenever you see that there is not enough capacity available.
Transparency into Plans, Goals and Opportunities
Translate strategy into initiatives by constantly – and confidently – making the best decisions with your finite resources.
- Collect, evaluate and organize new project ideas and initiatives using our Kanban-style board.
- Prioritize projects with customized scoring criteria that includes the factors that matter most, such as strategy fit and risk level.
- Simulate potential plan alternatives using “what-if” scenarios to resolve conflicts.
