The Value Initiative tool suite provides a set of tools to help clients identify value-creating ideas and optimize their project portfolios. The key tools include the Enterprise Value Map, ValueLink, MapIt!, PriorIt!, and Portfolio Landscape. The Enterprise Value Map depicts how value is created and can be used to measure performance, identify projects, and develop hypotheses. ValueLink electronically links improvement initiatives to the Value Map. MapIt! and PriorIt! help allocate projects across the Value Map and prioritize based on risk and value. Portfolio Landscape is a comprehensive tool that manages the full portfolio optimization process. The tools help clients focus on the right projects and initiatives to improve performance.
