Case Study: Transforming Portfolio Visibility During the Covid Crisis

The Covid 19 pandemic presented the world with the biggest crisis seen in living memory – and the care sector was at the forefront of efforts to deliver vital services in the most difficult of circumstances. Frontline staff were, of course, at the sharp edge of the challenge. But, for PMOs in the care sector, driving and maintaining effective change, transformation, and delivery programmes in such a volatile environment was also a tough call.

In the case of Essex Cares Limited (ECL), the PMO was tasked with continuing to deliver five high impact transformation programmes as well as maintaining operations during the pandemic (and beyond). There was an urgent need to consolidate the portfolio view for visibility across these programmes, so that the Portfolio Sponsors could effectively support and steer the PMO in meeting the challenge.

A rapid PPM platform deployment generating enhanced portfolio value

Usually, onboarding a new PPM platform is considered a big ticket PMO transformation in itself. So, you might assume that a period of crisis would be the worst time to undertake such a project! But, in the case of Kivue Perform, its light touch, rapid rollout capabilities equipped Essex Cares’ PMO to make the change and achieve fast, business-critical portfolio visibility with minimal time or disruption to Sponsors, the PMO and the project management teams.

The result has been a single source of consistent portfolio visibility, setting of a PPM baseline to underpin ECL’s future growth, and streamlined PMO reporting processes that save time and add value.
