Portfolio Management
The Challenge
Given the tough regulatory environment and pressure on costs, it has never been more important to prioritise investments. Equally, utility companies are under pressure to maximise shareholder value through leveraging core competencies and developing a range of new products and services.
To prioritise and select the investments that will deliver greatest value, utility organisations are increasingly looking for a powerful, integrated approach to enable improved decision-making.
In order to satisfy various stakeholders, utility organisations need to demonstrate, and be accountable for, the basis on which significant investment decisions are made.
The Solution
Fujitsu’s Portfolio Management approach helps organisations select and prioritise investments. Fujitsu’s Portfolio Management solution is an integrated set of processes, techniques and tools. The approach facilitates selection of optimal investments and programme execution to return the greatest possible value to the business.
The solution allows decision makers to achieve the right balance between discretionary and non-discretionary investment, and ensures strategic alignment with regulatory requirements and other business drivers while managing the organisation's risk profile.
The solution also enables visibility and control of investments to be maintained using various dashboard views and investor maps. The status of the portfolio in terms of strategic alignment, financial worth and current level of risk are always available.
The Expertise
Fujitsu’s Portfolio Management approach provides a governance structure to support executive decision-making. We will work with your organisation to define the parameters that are important to your business.
We provide a visual perspective on existing and potential investments that is impossible to achieve utilising traditional tools.
We use industry leading software tools to deliver the powerful visual representation of your portfolio. These tools provide an immediate view of the portfolio that allows executives to focus on decision making, rather than the analysis itself.
The Benefits
As a pro-active approach to prioritising and selecting potential investments, Portfolio Management will bring the following benefits to your organisation:
- Create the means for an informed, richer and transparent discussion with the Regulator and other stakeholders around priorities and needs
- Create a level playing field for comparing all investments and make better-informed decisions
- Use a benefits-led approach to identify and ensure delivery of the desired outcomes
- Ensure the right investment choices are made based on clearly defined decision making criteria
- Reduce overall spend by eliminating low value investments
- Channel resources appropriately according to overall value of the investment
- Examine potential scenarios for portfolio manipulation using ‘what-if’ analysis
Effective Portfolio Management removes much of the burden of executive decision-making associated with prioritisation of potential investments. It is not however a substitute for decision-making.
Investments that are not delivering the required results can be identified early and either abandoned or repositioned as necessary.
