Project Portfolio Diagnostic

Peak Strategy has created this diagnostic tool to assist business owners and project managers with understanding how their current growth initiatives are related to the core business and business system. The tool allows you to understand the current and optimal mix of growth projects across various project types.

The Project Portfolio Diagnostic is organized into four sections:

Section1: Introduction to Project Portfolio Management

This section introduces the "Strategy Bets" Matrix as a tool to manage growth project portfolios.
The "Strategy Bets" Matrix
—Provides an introduction to the "Strategy Bets" Matrix and the four categories of growth projects: Core Value Maximization, Adjacency Extension, Core Transformation, and New Business Creation.

Allocating Growth Investments—Introduces considerations for allocating growth initiatives among the four categories of growth projects described by the "Strategy Bets" Matrix.

Section 2:  Determining the Optimal Growth Project Allocation Mix

This section enables companies to determine how their growth initiatives should be distributed over the four quadrants of the "Strategy Bets" Matrix introduced in the previous section. 

Optimal Allocation Self-Test—Provides a 20 question self-test that enables a company to assess its optimal allocation of growth initiatives based on a complete understanding of current risks to the company's existing industry and business system.

Optimal Allocation Mix—Presents results of the Optimal Allocation Self-Test in the form of a suggested allocation mix, based on self-test scoring.

Section 3:  Determining the Current Project Allocation Mix

This section enables companies to understand the current portfolio mix of growth projects in their portfolio.

Growth Project Inventory—This section enables a company to evaluate how its current growth initiatives are distributed in relation to its industry and business systems. 

Step 1- This section allows companies to list its current growth initiatives (up to 15).

Step 2- Using the given score criteria, companies can generate an "Industry Relatedness Factor Score" and a "Business System Relatedness Factor Score."

Score Sheet Criteria—This tab includes an explanation of the criteria for scoring a strategy's magnitude of change from core business and business systems. 

Section 4:  Determining the Alignment between Current and Optimal Growth Project Allocation

This section enables companies to analyze its growth project allocation.

Alignment—This tab offers a comparison between your company's current allocation of growth projects and the optimal allocation mix as determined by the self-test results will allow you to understand where your company has either "overweighted" or "underweighted" investment in growth projects of different types.
