VISBO builds on the professional judgment of your project leaders.
It does not require complex, hard-to-maintain detailed plans — and no project management expertise is needed for the start.
Each month, project leaders spend just 15–30 minutes to digitally capture their expert assessment of a few key project indicators:
This expert assessment is regularly updated, based on the best knowledge and judgment of the project leader — and made visible to everyone in the organization.
Impending resource bottlenecks across the portfolio become transparent and are resolved at the operational level through self-organization. Where this is not possible, necessary decisions are made in the regular Portfolio Management Steering Committee — data-driven, collaborative, and transparent.
Many enterprises, especially small and medium sized enterprises face a mountain of tasks such as digitalization, developing new business models, products, and services, implementing new EU regulations, and more—all while dealing with an acute shortage of skilled workers. The ability to either quickly implement or terminate projects is becoming a critical competitive factor. And this without the need for lengthy and costly change or training programs.
That’s exactly the focus of the VISBO solution.
Telair International GmbH, a supplier in the aerospace industry, achieved transparency and data-driven decision-making with VISBO within just two weeks. Over the course of a year, more than €3 million in savings were realized through internal projects, all while maintaining regular business operations.
A tool alone is not the solution. Combined with the management principles described in the Execution Excellence Manifesto, VISBO delivers:
All of this is measurable in your profit and loss statement.
VISBO recommends applying this principle at both the portfolio and project levels.
Plan and monitor your projects based on key data points, such as crucial deadlines, deliverables, monthly resource demands, and expected revenues or benefits, to optimize efficiency and outcomes.
Focus on the most valuable and important initiatives, rather than trying to do everything at once. Manage your Work-in-Progress within the overall portfolio to bring projects into a steady flow and shorten lead times.
