Prevent value loss across your project portfolio

Avoid cost overruns. Strengthen delivery confidence. Realise more benefits.

We help organisations prioritise the right initiatives and deliver projects with certainty across their portfolio.

Your project portfolio is leaking value

Most organisations fund too many low-value initiatives or not the right initiatives, and then struggle to deliver work predictably. The consequences are significant and persistent:

  • Cost overruns against approved business cases
  • Delays that push benefits further out, or not delivered at all
  • Stakeholder fatigue and declining executive confidence
  • Unable to deliver the complexity or with the maturity required

Industry benchmarks consistently show that the average project exceeds its original budget by around 30 percent, while less than 50 percent of planned benefits are typically realised.

That means value is being lost twice: once through unplanned cost, and again through unrealised outcomes.

The question isn’t whether value is leaking from your portfolio.
It’s how much, and where.

The Delivery QuickScan identifies exactly where this value leakage is occurring and what to fix first.

How PM-Partners can help.

PM-Partners helps organisations recover lost value from their project portfolios by improving portfolio prioritisation, governance and delivery performance.

Reduced cost overruns

Improved prioritisation and stronger portfolio controls reduce unplanned spend and avoidable rework.

Improved return on project investment

Time, capital and effort are redirected to initiatives that deliver measurable value.

advisory-icons-03

Faster realisation of benefits

The right initiatives are prioritised and executed to bring outcomes forward, not delay them.

advisory-icons-04

Improved delivery predictability and executive confidence

Clearer governance, reporting and forecasting enable leaders to trust delivery commitments.

advisory-icons-05

Lower delivery risk and recurring issues

Earlier visibility of constraints and dependencies prevents the same problems repeating across programs.

This portfolio delivery uplift focuses on improving performance across the portfolio lifecycle.

Identify where value is leaking and what to fix first

PM-Partners conducts a proven portfolio review to provide clarity on the root causes of cost overruns, delays and unrealised benefits across your project portfolio.

The review looks beyond individual projects to examine how work is selected, governed and delivered at a portfolio level, where systemic value leakage typically occurs.

Rather than applying estimation bias, inconsistent controls and vendor performance, or generic frameworks, the review focuses on practical drivers of underperformance, including planning and scoping quality, delivery complexity, capacity and capability constraints.

The outcome is a clear, prioritised view of the issues that matter most and the actions required to address them.

Delivery QuickScan: rapid clarity on priority actions

The Delivery QuickScan applies this diagnostic approach in a focused 90-minute session.

It identifies where value is leaking across your portfolio and highlights the top five remediation actions to address first.

You leave the session with clear, practical actions you can apply immediately, not a theoretical report or open-ended review.

This session is delivered personally by our senior advisory team.
Places are intentionally capped to maintain quality and depth of insight.

From insight to portfolio delivery uplift

Once priority issues are identified, delivery uplift focuses on implementing targeted changes across the portfolio. The emphasis shifts from diagnosis to execution, embedding agreed changes across portfolio governance, controls and delivery practices. Uplift is delivered through a staged approach designed to embed change efficiently and sustainably.

Review and roadmap

Findings from the portfolio review are converted into a clear uplift roadmap, prioritising actions based on impact, feasibility and speed to value.

Build and pilot uplifts

Priority changes are designed and piloted across governance, delivery controls, capability, scheduling, reporting and vendor performance to validate effectiveness before wider rollout.

Launch and embed

Proven uplifts are rolled out with training and coaching to ensure new ways of working are adopted and sustained across the portfolio.

What you’ll gain

This is not a theoretical assessment or a high-level report.
You receive clear, tangible deliverables that leadership teams can act on immediately.

A tailored portfolio review and uplift roadmap

A clear, prioritised view of where value is leaking and what to address first, aligned to your organisation and portfolio context.
