Steer your portfolio — from strategy to results.

We help organizations make better portfolio decisions and focus resources on the work that matters most.

Does this sound familiar?

  • Priorities follow the loudest voice, not agreed strategy and evidence.
  • Every initiative has a case, but when priorities, funding or capacity shift, leadership still needs a way to decide what changes.

TransparentChoice combines a Decision Framework to structure the decision with Portfolio Software to turn leadership judgement into explicit priorities and realistic portfolio choices. When needed, our experts can help leaders work through the trade-offs. The result is a portfolio your leaders can commit to.

Clarify the decision and your next step, including whether a Portfolio Decision Sprint would help. The Sprint is a focused engagement for one portfolio and the trade-offs leadership needs to resolve.

HOW TRANSPARENTCHOICE CREATES REAL PORTFOLIO CHANGE

From leadership judgement to a portfolio decision

Making priorities explicit is only the first step. Leadership still has to decide which combination of work can actually be funded and delivered within real constraints.

  1. Make priorities explicit

    Capture leadership judgement, test it for consistency, and make meaningful disagreement visible.

  2. Build portfolio choices

    Compare initiatives consistently, then apply funding, capacity and other constraints to compare complete, feasible portfolio choices side by side.

  3. Make the trade-offs

    Weigh the trade-offs between credible portfolio choices, then decide what to fund, defer, stop or review.

Your leaders provide the judgement and own the final decision. TransparentChoice brings the decision framework and software that make the process structured, transparent and defensible. When useful, our experts can help leaders work through the trade-offs. The Portfolio Decision Sprint offers a focused way to start with one defined portfolio decision.

Where teams use TransparentChoice

Teams use the same decision capability across strategic planning, prioritization, demand, capacity and portfolio management, as well as other consequential choices between investments, initiatives and strategic alternatives.

TransparentChoice adds a specialist decision capability for making and revisiting portfolio choices. Where organizations already use PPM, project-management or planning systems, it works alongside them rather than replacing them.

If leadership wants to work through one defined portfolio decision, the Portfolio Decision Sprint turns the information already available into credible choices in around three weeks.
