Tight Connection

Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is an “old-new” emerging discipline. More and more organizations are discovering PPM as an “alternative” to Strategic Planning. In reality the two disciplines should walk along, obtaining from this coexistence mutual benefits. Strategic Planning is often too far from reality and fails due to this distance. Project Management is too much down-to-earth, being focused on delivering, sometimes without knowing the real rational behind what is produced. PPM is a smart and wise connection between these too distant worlds (it has to be highlighted that also the people involved in the two disciplines are very dissimilar). PPM is a step into the future keeping a tight connection with the near past and with the ongoing activities performed by the organization. PPM supports organizations' need to shape their future. It is a complex process, taking time and resources, but the returns are worth the effort.
