Global Leading Technology Player
Client & Situation
- Global leading technology player, >25k employees
- Multiple new digital product initiatives in different business units need to be managed
- Activities in the business groups are not transparent enough to effectively steer innovation
- Slow progress of some initiatives, since there is no effective system to anticipate and facilitate
Approach & Excubate Support
- Set-up of an Digital Innovation Portfolio that aggregates all information of active initiatives and visualizes the status-quo, health status and progress of each initiative
- Providing a framework to define a step-by-step progression plan through different innovation phases
- Establish a vehicle to periodically survey the health status of all initiatives and their progress
- Hosting workshops to help product owners with implementation of new project management software
Results
- The Digital Innovation Portfolio organizes the process for every initiative and streamlines the development, which creates transparency on each initiative as well as on business groups or the whole company
- Applied “sprint logic” to periodically review the status and progress changes the way how project and budget decisions are made
- Identification of potential new fields of activity and of slow moving initiatives is now easier and in shorter time periods possible
