Overview

Is your organization one of the 85% who develop strategic goals but fail to achieve them?The difference between successful, growing organizations and dying organizations is the ability to achieve future goals. Why didn't you achieve your strategy? Too many organizations waste time and money on developing strategy and then never achieve their goals. What goes wrong? Items that derail the best intentions include poor predictions about the future; internal politics that impact the projects selected; biases in the decision-making process, and other stumbling blocks. This book provides the approach that significantly increases an organization's ability to achieve its strategy. This is not a book about developing strategy. This is a book that will help you actually achieve the strategy the organization's leadership has developed. Strategy is necessary but it is a complete waste of time unless it is effectively turned into real results. If you want to see where an organization will be in 5 years, don't look at its strategic goals. Look at where management spends the money. This book is designed to bridge the gap between the managers who are involved in the strategy selection process and the project managers who lead the projects.

It is said that strategy implementation is more important than strategy formulation, a difficult point to dispute. Frank Parth shines a bright light on this fact in this book. His well-written and well-researched book is an easy read. It pulls back the covers on the required elements of an Enterprise Portfolio Management System and the steps you can follow to create one. It will be of significant help to you in successfully preparing, designing, planning and implementing your organization's EPMS to realize the business benefits expected by the authors of your organization's strategy.--Michael Frenette, PMP, SMC, Senior Project Manager for the IT PMO Halifax Water, Nova Scotia
