## SPM Maturity Assessment

#### Evaluate how well your organisation connects strategy to execution

Assess your Strategic Portfolio Management maturity across alignment, governance, financials, and decision-making. Identify where your organisation stands today and where to focus next to turn strategy into measurable progress.

### Why assess your SPM maturity

Most organisations define strategic priorities clearly.
Far fewer can see how investments, initiatives, and resources actually support them.

This disconnect creates the **strategy-execution gap**.

The SPM maturity assessment helps you understand:

• how aligned initiatives are with strategic goals
• whether governance supports effective decision-making
• how well resources and budgets are managed across portfolios
• whether benefits and outcomes are tracked consistently

In just a few minutes, you receive a structured view of how your organisation manages strategic portfolios today.

### What the assessment evaluates

The assessment evaluates maturity across the key capabilities required for effective Strategic Portfolio Management.

**Strategic alignment**
How clearly initiatives connect to strategic objectives.

**Governance**
How decisions, roles, and portfolio oversight are structured.

**Lifecycle management**
How initiatives move from idea to execution through defined processes.

**Financial visibility**
How budgets, investments, and financial performance are tracked.

**Risk & benefits**
How risks are managed and expected benefits are measured.

**Data & tools**
How portfolio data is centralised and used for decision-making.

**Continuous improvement**
How organisations learn from outcomes and refine processes.

### What you receive

After completing the assessment you receive:

• Your overall SPM maturity level

• A visual maturity profile across key dimensions

• A clear explanation of what each maturity level means

• Guidance on where your organisation can improve next

The result provides a practical starting point for improving strategic portfolio management across the enterprise.

### Typical maturity levels

Organisations typically progress through several stages of Strategic Portfolio Management maturity.

**Initial**
Portfolios managed through spreadsheets and disconnected tools.

**Emerging**
Some portfolio visibility exists but prioritisation and governance are inconsistent.

**Defined**
Standardised governance and portfolio processes guide decision-making.

**Managed**
Strategy, investments, and execution are aligned through shared data.

**Optimised**
Portfolios adapt continuously using real-time insights and scenario planning.

### Why SPM maturity matters

When Strategic Portfolio Management is mature:

• strategy and execution stay aligned
• resources are allocated where value is created
• leaders can prioritise initiatives confidently
• decisions are based on real data rather than assumptions

In mature organisations, strategy becomes a living system rather than a static plan.
