Foreword
    The last couple of years have been a big challenge for many companies. Less focus was on the
    realisation of strategic objectives, executing long term programmes and undertaking transfor-
    mational initiatives as a result of having to be reactive to the environment. However, as the time
    since the burst of the financial crises progresses, strategic activities are put on the CxO’s priority
    list once again.
    During the economic downtime, the daunting task of simply surviving took away all energy and thus
    attained the core focus of organisations. After this difficult period, many companies, although not all,
    managed to breathe again making a revival of strategic programmes a logical consequence. One could
    therefore expect to see programmes focusing again on accomplishing strategic goals instead of running
    projects with cost-decreasing intentions.
    Based on the results of our survey performed in Belgium at the beginning of 2012 we conclude that
    budgets for strategic projects are made available again in parallel with a renewed intention for building
    up professional capabilities around programme and project management. This insight goes together with                                                                     Stephan Claes                               Anthony Van de Ven

    results delivered by their projects. It is clear that expectations around strategic goal fulfilment often are
    not being met. This has a direct ‘bottom line’ effect: strategy realisation gets delayed, costs increase, de-                                                             sclaes3@kpmg.com                            avandeven@kpmg.com
    liverables are of lower quality than expected and overall stakeholders’ satisfaction is not yielding.
    Understanding the underlying reasons for this overall underperformance is important. In this context,
    the survey shows a positive correlation between project management maturity within organisations and
    the realised success rates of executed projects. In other words, the survey indicated that more mature
    organisations (in terms of how project management is done) are more successful in realising the end
    objectives. Another clear outcome of the survey is that many companies struggle to translate business
    ideas and strategies into a concrete, executable portfolio of projects. In this respect, a great role is to be
    played by the Enterprise Architecture function, helping to clearly structure and establish the DNA of the
    transformation initiative and enabling portfolio management to be the GPS leading the company through
    it. A key point of attention is that the Enterprise Architecture function is mandated and positioned correctly
    by the company’s leadership. Still a lot of work is to be done in this area as the survey pinpoints that EA
    is still a very young immature, though upcoming, function and that companies are on a journey to position
    it correctly.
    These days, it is not enough anymore to deliver high quality products and services as such. On top of
    this, companies need to focus on delivering end to end value to their customers. Delivering this kind of
    customer value requires product and go to market flexibility, enterprise agility throughout all business
    functions and real-time tools to manage performance. This has a major effect on the type of projects that                                                                 Prof. dr. Steven De Haes                    Drs. Kim Maes

               increased compared to the last year. No one reported that it was lower. The portfolio budgets and the
               number of projects have also grown (only a minority of companies spend less than the year before).                                                                        20%

               Additional spending on projects and programmes leads to an increased awareness of the importance of
               proper project and programme management. This appreciation is a good indicator of the care and atten-
               tion the companies are likely to pay towards the quality of the delivery process, not only the outcomes.                                                                  10%
               It may also indicate a willingness to improve the existing processes which is correct because still many
               projects and programmes fail to deliver the expected results, as presented later on in this report.

…, but delivering projects and programmes successfully is still a hard nut to crack.
           There are many metrics in place for measuring project / programme success, starting from the traditional
           ones – cost, time and quality – up to the modern value-creation measurement. Cost and time are the easi-                                                                  “Plans are nothing;
           est metrics to measure, as they are quantitative, and they usually constitute a natural basis for decision
           making. The concept of Earned Value Management is well known to most project managers but rarely                                                                          planning is everything”

           management has increased steadily over the last years. More and more organisations realise that deal-

           ing with and resolving errors in the early stage of a project pays off and following-up the achievement of
           expected benefits helps improve forecasting in the future.
           The survey results show that only around 50% of the expected benefits are gained through projects
           and programmes. Moreover, this comes at a higher cost than foreseen, and the results come later than
           planned.
           Executing projects and programmes according to schedule seems to be the biggest challenge - only 9%                                                                                                                        Quality

           is respectively 18% and 14% - a bit better than timing. More than 30% of companies indicate that their
           projects and programmes are at least 76% compliant with the quality criteria that have been set up.
           These numbers are not startling nor new. For years, organisations have been (and still are) struggling to                                                                                                                  Portfolio

  • 3. Foreword The last couple of years have been a big challenge for many companies. Less focus was on the realisation of strategic objectives, executing long term programmes and undertaking transfor- mational initiatives as a result of having to be reactive to the environment. However, as the time since the burst of the financial crises progresses, strategic activities are put on the CxO’s priority list once again. During the economic downtime, the daunting task of simply surviving took away all energy and thus attained the core focus of organisations. After this difficult period, many companies, although not all, managed to breathe again making a revival of strategic programmes a logical consequence. One could therefore expect to see programmes focusing again on accomplishing strategic goals instead of running projects with cost-decreasing intentions. Based on the results of our survey performed in Belgium at the beginning of 2012 we conclude that budgets for strategic projects are made available again in parallel with a renewed intention for building up professional capabilities around programme and project management. This insight goes together with Stephan Claes Anthony Van de Ven a strong message from survey responding companies indicating that they are often dissatisfied with the Partner KPMG Advisory Director KPMG Advisory results delivered by their projects. It is clear that expectations around strategic goal fulfilment often are not being met. This has a direct ‘bottom line’ effect: strategy realisation gets delayed, costs increase, de- sclaes3@kpmg.com avandeven@kpmg.com liverables are of lower quality than expected and overall stakeholders’ satisfaction is not yielding. Understanding the underlying reasons for this overall underperformance is important. In this context, the survey shows a positive correlation between project management maturity within organisations and the realised success rates of executed projects. In other words, the survey indicated that more mature organisations (in terms of how project management is done) are more successful in realising the end objectives. Another clear outcome of the survey is that many companies struggle to translate business ideas and strategies into a concrete, executable portfolio of projects. In this respect, a great role is to be played by the Enterprise Architecture function, helping to clearly structure and establish the DNA of the transformation initiative and enabling portfolio management to be the GPS leading the company through it. A key point of attention is that the Enterprise Architecture function is mandated and positioned correctly by the company’s leadership. Still a lot of work is to be done in this area as the survey pinpoints that EA is still a very young immature, though upcoming, function and that companies are on a journey to position it correctly. These days, it is not enough anymore to deliver high quality products and services as such. On top of this, companies need to focus on delivering end to end value to their customers. Delivering this kind of customer value requires product and go to market flexibility, enterprise agility throughout all business functions and real-time tools to manage performance.
