Portfolio Demand

Project Demand Management involves gathering, evaluating and prioritizing capital investment requests. Some project requests will be routine capital investment for sustenance of business-as-usual activities, others may be transformational and high-risk. It is important to strategically align these requests and prioritize them based on their benefits and risk. Stratex Online provides a Project Demand Management solution that will help collect, score and rank your candidate projects.

Project demand management will provide your team with visibility of current strategic imperatives for their area and allow for the prioritization of project requests that are most aligned to these strategies.

Define your Strategy

Cascade your strategic goals, including non-financial objectives such as sustainability, down to every organizational level and make them visible to all your team.

Align to your Strategy

Assess how well each initiative aligns with the strategic objectives of the area it benefits to automatically calculate a strategic alignment score.

Assign Responsibility

Link initiatives to both the benefitting area and the sponsoring department to efficiently gain approval from both.

Score and Rank Capital Project Requests

Having encouraged your team to submit their project demand requests, how do you prioritize, and focus time and resources on the most important initiatives?

Stratex Online will help you classify asset replacement and project requests between sustenance, growth and compliance and provide an appropriate evaluation matrix to derive a balanced and consistent capital project prioritization score.

Identify Project Risk

Formally assess project risks of both inaction (urgency) and of implementation and adjust your project prioritization scores accordingly.

Assess Project Benefits

Use qualitative benefit assessments in the initial stages of a project and later, once the business case is developed, apply more quantifiable metric-based assessments.

Score and Rank Projects Objectively

Consider strategic alignment, urgency, benefits, and risks to generate a comprehensive assessment score to help management rank projects effectively.

Automate Collaboration and Approval Workflow

With traditional spreadsheet and email-based wish-list and demand management processes, important initiatives can get stuck or unfairly discounted.

With Stratex Online, by streamlining the workflow, you can ensure that important ideas are not overlooked and are consistently assessed.
