Running Your Org Like a Business

More and more, managers and team members are being asked to act entrepreneurially. To act like owners in their respective businesses.

Why is this? Just like in our personal lives, businesses never have enough time or money to do everything they would like. There are a lot of competing priorities for new or improved services.

This isn't new but when economic conditions are challenging, organizations renew their commitments to how they're using resources and the value that their investments are creating.

If this sounds like your organization, you are not alone. We are seeing this from leaders often.

They are impressing upon their teams the importance of spending wisely and using resources in the same manner they would if they were accountable for the spend.

Applying service portfolio management principles to your management practices can help. We spend much of our time working with clients who are struggling with the effects of neglecting their service and program portfolios, only to discover they are spending ineffectively and are not realizing the value of their investments.

Running your organization at scale is always challenging. There are more ideas than funding.

Taking an intentional approach to service portfolio management will help you to prioritize, deliver, and activate the right programs and services, at the right time.
