Survey Results: Portfolio Management Issues

In our current issue of ValuePoint™ (monthly eNewsletter featuring information about value-based project and portfolio management), we posted results of a survey taken during a recent Stanford/SDG webinar. Here is a summary of the survey findings:

Most important portfolio business challenges:
Too many projects for our resources: 42%
Cutting costs without cutting the future: 23%
65% agreed they were frustrated about:
Decisions that go back and forth and get made late or ineffectively
Politics dominating the decision process
No consistent and transparent way to measure the value of R&D projects
Inability to address risk and uncertainty in a disciplined manner
