2. Current Landscape
Rapid and disruptive changes in technology and in the marketplace are driving the
next for extensive digital and enterprise transformation efforts in today’s
organizations. The increasing pace of change and environmental turbulence creates
unsustainable strain for organizations.
Many large digital transformations continue to fail, and industry experts, like
Gartner, say that is largely due to avoidablecauses.
Executive leaders need to form a separate Transformation Program Office to align
and orchestrate program execution across workstreams and digital information
silos. This will serve to ensure better success for digital transformation programs.
3. Impacts of Digital Transformation Programs
Competitive Advantage
• Organizations must innovate and adapt to stay competitive. Digital transformation enables companies to leverage technology to create
new products, services, and business models, giving them a competitive edge over traditional competitors and new market entrants.

• Digital technologies automate manual processes, streamline workflows, and eliminate inefficiencies, resulting in improved productivity
and cost savings. Organizations can accomplish tasks faster, allocate resources more effectively, and achieve better results .
Enhanced Customer Experience
• Companies can better understand and engage with their customers. Through data analytics, personalized marketing, and omnichannel
communication, organizations can deliver seamless and tailored experiences that meet customer expectations and drive loyalty.
Business Agility
• Enables organizations to respond quickly to changing market dynamics, customer demands, and competitive pressures. Adopting a gile
methodologies and digital tools, companies can adapt strategies, products, and operations quickly, to remain relevant and res ilient.

cybersecurity measures. Companies can ensure business continuity and mitigate the impact of unplanned disruptions.
4. What is a Transformation Program Office?
Gartner defines a “program office” as a
temporary organizational entity linked
to a specific program
Program directors or managers must
deal with the big-picture
transformation and focus on the most
important part of the program: getting
success and results.
Unlike permanent PMO/EPMO functions,
the program office exists to provide
support, enablement services and work
products to the program’s executive
sponsor, the program manager and other
program management and staff.
The program manager focuses on
critical transformation activities —
managing the evolving transformation
goals, communicating frequently with
stakeholders and mitigating risks
proactively.
Transformation programs typically have
numerous operational and technical areas
requiring coordination and decision making.
The PO centralizes the management of key
functions required to engage, enable and
communicate various projects, products and
workstreams within the program. It also
ensures that the span of control is focused
only on the objective of the transformation.
8. • This structure enables collaboration and
consistency of solutions for transformation
programs by aligning program activities with
the activities of the PMO.
• It also ensures that the span of control is for
the digital transformation, not for ongoing
changes managed by the PMO.
Typical Location Within the Enterprise
9. Common Challenges Facing Transformation Program Office
Resistance to Change
• Requires effective change managementstrategies, clear communication, and stakeholder
engagementto foster buy-in and support for the transformation initiative
Legacy Systems and Infrastructure
• Integratingnew technologies with existingsystems, overcomingtechnical debt, and ensuring
interoperabilitypose significantchallenges
Skills and Talent Gap
• Challenges in recruiting, upskilling, andretainingtalent with the necessarydigital capabilities
to drive the transformation agenda forward
Resource Constraints
• Must prioritize investments, allocate resources strategically, and demonstrate the return on
investment to secure continued support from senior leadership and stakeholders
Cybersecurity Risks
• Must prioritize cybersecuritymeasures, implement robust security protocols, and foster a
culture of cybersecurityawareness
Data Management and Governance
• Face challenges relatedto data quality, privacy, governance, and compliance
Organizational Silos and Collaboration
• Lack of collaboration between departments can hinder the integration andalignmentof
digital transformation efforts across the organization
Measuring Success and ROI
• Need to establish clear metrics, KPIs, and benchmarks to track progress, evaluate outcomes,
and demonstrate the impact of digital transformation on business performance
10. Organization & Information Silos Breed Increased Costs, Inefficiencies
and Lack of Alignment
• Poor alignment and collaboration between
participating functional areas
• Manual mash-ups of data from multiple
tools and data sources
• Manual report creation, formatting and
updating
• Duplication of efforts and data entry is time
consuming, wasteful and prone to errors
• Disconnected information difficult to remain
accurate and current across the board
• Chasing team members for timely/complete
status and updates
• Comprehensive resource planning typically
is its own separate data silo that is
disconnected
11. As a system
System of strategy development and planning, organizational
alignment, operational plans, monitoring and learning, and
testing and adapting afterward forms the basis for an increase in
value by “executing” the strategy
As a set of processes
Process involving people, strategy and operations
Align Strategy With Execution
Gartner: Market Guide for Strategy Execution Management Software
Executing strategy in the digital age requires tools connecting the shared objectives of business strategists
and those executing the change and measuring true business value. Program and portfolio management
leaders directing transformation should invest in strategy execution management to succeed.
12. Leadershiprequires SPM to support enterprise-wide strategy-to-execution
alignment and adaptation.
Definition of key business strategies and desired business outcomes,
and mapping key portfolio elements, such as business capabilities,
investments, programs, digital and physical products,
applications, and projects.
Capture, define and prioritize business strategies; manage the
execution of initiatives, programsand projects that drive the
achievementof these strategies; and provide full visibilityand
managementof core functional assets.
Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM)
Supports three key stakeholders from Leadership who sets direction,
IT/Functionalmanagement who owns the critical assets in infrastructure and
Execution teams that plan and deliver projects and products in the pursuitof
reachingthe business goals.
Gartner defines Strategic Portfolio Management as a set of business capabilities, processes and
supporting portfolio management technology.
13. Shift Toward SPM to Enable Organizational Agility
The increasing pace of change and environmental turbulence creates
unsustainable strain for organizations. The need for agility will drive
strategic portfolio leaders to increase adoption of strategic portfolio
management and change supporting tooling and metrics.
Key Findings
• Only 16% of organizations are highly effective at all three key
attributes of strategic portfolio management (SPM) — portfolio
alignment, ongoing portfolio flexibility and value-driven decision
making.
• A fragmented approach to designing the future of work can lead to
excessive costs due to conflicting priorities, redundant
processes and misaligned goals.
• In a distributed delivery environment, business leaders overemphasize
local customer needs while making decisions and unintentionally pull
the enterprise away from its strategic objectives.

Assumptions
• By 2025, 70% of digital investments will fail to deliver the
expected business outcomes due to the absence of a strategic
portfolio management approach.
• By 2024, 80% of digital businesses will integrate SPM and
execution technologies and adopt new frameworks and
standards to achieve valued business outcomes.
