Webinar - Portfolio of Initiatives: How to Measure and Reduce the Hidden Cost of Poor Governance?

Course Description

You’re familiar with the cost of poor quality (CoPQ). But have you measured the cost of poor governance in your portfolio of initiatives (strategic projects, programs, continuous improvement)? Unclear priorities, delayed decisions, projects that go off track: a huge, hidden cost that erodes your organization’s performance without ever appearing on your financial statements. This is what we call the Cost of Poor Governance (CoPG).

Our goals for the participants in this webinar:

• Know how to recognize the signs of inadequate leadership: too many priorities, delayed decisions, and projects that go off track.
• Calculate their CoPG using a simple three-component method, with a sample calculation provided.
• Discover the missing link between strategy and execution: Operational Performance Architecture (OPA).
• Establish simple and effective governance: lifecycle, governing bodies, shared framework, and appropriate metrics.

Participants will leave with a practical framework for estimating their own CoPG and taking action.
