Project Description

Designing a portfolio governance and value creation framework to connect individual initiatives to strategic outcomes and inform budget and prioritization decisions

The Project

A division of a global pharmaceutical company wanted to invest in digital transformation and secure value from the investments without building unnecessary overhead.

Our Approach

Upstream Partners supported the division by designing a portfolio governance and value creation framework:

Connecting strategy to value levers and individual impact of initiatives

Mapping potential local restoration initiatives and relevant stakeholders

Impact

The division now has a consistent view of the portfolio priorities and value creation from its portfolio of digital initiatives. Because Upstream Partners built the framework for internal ownership from the outset, the division now operates and extends the model independently.
