How can you improve focus on value at the portfolio level?
During Round 1 of the Lean Portfolio Management Game, participants are reminded that when the focus is on resource balancing and phase-gate processes, there is less attention on what truly drives value.
By Round 2, a shift towards a value-focused approach helps teams prioritise high-impact work and embrace flexible constraints, leading to better alignment with strategic goals and improved outcomes at the portfolio level.
The game’s second round shows the benefits of 'cutting the tail' of large initiatives by concentrating on their most valuable elements. Participants learn that prioritising the highest-value elements and allowing for pivots leads to higher impact.
Join us on 10th December in London for the Lean Portfolio Management Game and experience new ways to improve value delivery.

Want to connect strategy to execution?
The starting point is to ensure that the strategy is also articulated as measurable multi-year outcomes (OKRs).
A great approach to connecting strategy to execution involves nesting outcomes at different levels to ensure alignment and learning.
Focus on just a few key multi-year outcomes as your strategic direction.
Identify the initial annual outcomes that address the greatest uncertainties to guide you current year.
Identify aligned quarterly outcomes (OKRs), focus on testing outcome hypotheses through monthly experiments and daily user stories, aiming for frequent releases of value.
Teams define their outcomes to provide the best support for the higher-level outcomes, fostering both collegue engaagement and operational agility.
