5. Why the Shift?
Because digital business leaders are increasingly generating a
continuous flux of threats and opportunities with significant
digital business implications.
Responding to these threats and opportunities often requires a
significant amount of effort and cost.
It also requires effective orchestration and governance at scale —
both of which are provided by an effective EPMO.
Core EPMO functions, such as the execution of large, enterprise-
wide initiatives and quick, effective portfolio prioritization, as
two of the most coveted capabilities for digital business success
With the right strategic relationships, a core focus on achieving key
business objectives and outcomes, and positioning in the appropriate
place in the enterprise, an EPMO can significantly improve the
enterprise’s ability to execute a digital strategy and deliver value.
