Projects deliver capabilities that enable programmes to deliver benefits. However, it’s portfolios that truly deliver value—the right benefits. Effective portfolio management, crucial in today’s resource-constrained and complex business environment, involves delivering the optimum benefits given these restrictions. This underscores the urgency and necessity of seeking Quidita’s expertise.
The founders of Quidita, who have decades of experience managing and supporting portfolios, including with the implementation of award-winning portfolio management offices, have been closely involved in the very definition of portfolio management. They have been closely involved in developing global standards and qualifications and co-authoring popular books on the subject. Being so closely involved, Quidita can offer a uniquely valuable perspective on effective portfolio management.
One of our founders co-wrote the current Project Management Institute (PMI) Standard for Portfolio Management, used globally and across multiple verticals and has had a close involvement in other PMI standards over the last ten years.
Quidita can help organisations save money and improve their return on investment (ROI) by getting the most out of their portfolios – quite literally, by doing “the right thing done the right way”.
Our experience covers programmes ranging from complete global business transformation programmes to departmental cost reduction projects — we really do know what works and what does not, knowledge and experience that saves you time and money, and considerably improves project and programme outcomes.
Effective Project and Programme Management Offices (PMOs) are an essential component in a well managed delivery. Unfortunately, many PMOs simply perform an information collection and administration role without adding any real value to the Project or Programme.
We can help organisations get more value out of their current PMO or help them set up a new one that follows best in class standards and fully leverages the functionality of Connect.
Given our level of experience in this area, as advisors, contractors and interims, it’s not surprising that we have a lot to say about how projects and programmes are managed, and this was an original driver behind the creation of Connect.
Quidita is a “business integrator”, at the forefront in rapidly developing robust, practical, detailed operating models and the projects/programmes to implement them. Our teams have developed Target Operating Models for launching whole new businesses, functions or products, transforming existing ones, designing shared services and outsourcing arrangements and making sure that critical things such as product/service quality, security or compliance happen “by design”, rather than by accident.
We create the meaningful and engaging high-level operating models needed to help executives explore how their business currently works and how it will work in the future. We rapidly drive out the practical detail needed, describing each component of the business, right down to detailed processes, individual roles, software functions, locations or elements of finance, as necessary. We use “operating model thinking” to design programmes or turn existing ones around – in many of our major programme turnarounds, it has taken us just a few days to develop a previously missing Target Operating Model and use this to diagnose the programme and identify the interventions needed to ensure success.
We have put our hundreds of years experience of Service Integration, Operating Model design and Programme design into developing what we believe is the world’s most advanced, practical and effective business integration methodology. This uses “service orientation” to describe the components of a business “as a service”, i.e. in terms of what each does and how it supports and/or depends on other components … the same approach, of course, as lies at the heart of our Connect software solution.
