New technologies, processes and practices are deployed for strategic positioning and gain. Typically, core teams are responsible for the rollout in partnership with distributed business units and partners. Expectation setting of feasible deployment and speed at which these new capabilities are adopted makes the difference between success and failure. |

Situation. GPD's client has a core team in 3 locations responsible for a very large portfolio. They are responsible for deploying strategically important technologies on a global basis. Complexity is driven by range of technology involved, a management and operational staff that is globally distributed. The strategic deployment consists of 8 different individual technologies, 12 business units, and 10 production areas with multiple sites within these areas. Response. GPD responded by delivering its TeamPort Strategy, TeamPort Launch and TeamPort Software enabling the core team to see total scope and dynamics across the portfolio, to launch individual projects, and to forecast the coordination overhead as the portfolio grows and evolves. GPD TeamPort Strategy is a modeling and analysis of current practice to develop forward looking strategy, TeamPort Software, methods, and training is an application enabling the client to capture a complete portfolio view of projects, initiatives, and operations identifying risk and opportunities for improvement. TeamPort Launch is a rapid project planning method to quickly deliver insight and benefit. |
Impact. The client core team can now make accurate, forward looking decisions in regard to long range planning, resource utilization, and dependencies. Deployment cycle time, re-work and redundant effort are reduced by applying a view of relationships between dependent business units and technologies. The core team can now provide status to several, disparate management groups. |
