Ein 30-minütiges Live-Experiment mit dem Xuviate Flow Simulator. Und eine Überraschung, die verändern dürfte, wie du über Portfolio-Verbesserung nachdenkst.

Alle stürzen sich gerade darauf, KI und neue Tools über die Projektarbeit zu legen. Aber was, wenn die größten Hebel längst darunter liegen, festgehalten in den Policies, die bestimmen, wie Arbeit durchs Portfolio fließt?

In nur 30 Minuten simuliert Mark Geschke ein volles Jahr (260 Arbeitstage) eines realistischen Projekt-Portfolios mit mehreren Teams. Live, im Xuviate Flow Simulator. Wir starten mit einer Baseline, die die meisten Führungskräfte sofort wiedererkennen: zu viel angefangen, zu wenig abgeschlossen, Termine, die kippen, und am Jahresende nur rund 10% des möglichen finanziellen Werts realisiert.

Dann verändern wir drei Dinge. Eines nach dem anderen:

• WIP auf Portfolio-Ebene begrenzen
• Klare Priorisierungsregeln in der gesamten Organisation einführen
• Gezielte teamübergreifende Zusammenarbeit ermöglichen

Managing AI Innovation Ecosystems: Lessons from the AI-on-Demand Platform with Dr. Maria Barros Weiss

Dear project management friends in and around Hamburg,

there will be the next event of the LG Hamburg in May:

Establishing a Standalone Unit (Carve-out) within the BASF group

- How the PM Toolkit provides direction, focus and execution power

 

A 30-minute live experiment with the Xuviate Flow Simulator - and a surprise that should change how you think about portfolio improvement.

Everyone is rushing to layer AI and new tooling onto project delivery. But what if the biggest gains are already sitting underneath all of that - locked up in the policies that govern how work flows through the portfolio?

In just 30 minutes, Mark Geschke will run a full simulated year (260 working days) of a realistic, multi-team project portfolio - live, in the Xuviate Flow Simulator. We'll start from a baseline most leaders will instantly recognise: too much started, too little finished, deadlines slipping, and only around 10% of the potential financial value captured by year-end.

Please address any questuions directly to Mathias Tölken (mathias@xuviate.com) or Martin Bertram (Martin.Bertram@pmi-gc.de)
