Value Management Office
Maximising Strategic Outcomes
What is a Value Management Office?
A Value Management Office (VMO) ensures organisations maximise value from investments by aligning delivery with strategic outcomes. Unlike traditional PMOs that focus on project execution, VMOs operate at the portfolio level, prioritising initiatives, enabling benefits realisation, and enhancing business agility.
At CTO Consulting, our VMO services help agencies embed Lean Portfolio Management (LPM), drive continuous improvement, and foster enterprise agility, empowering you to achieve measurable outcomes.
Our Approach to Establishing and Operating a VMO
We follow a practical, proven model for building and running VMOs in complex environments:
Discovery and Establishment
Assess current maturity, tools, frameworks, and metrics. Identify gaps and design a roadmap to enhance capabilities, with early delivery of high-priority governance artefacts.
VMO Design and Operationalisation
Establish the VMO charter, governance model, reporting cadence, and portfolio prioritisation processes. Operationalise Lean Portfolio Management and align to SAFe® practices.
Training and Change Enablement
Provide targeted role-specific training, SAFe® masterclasses, and change management support. Mentor staff to upskill and ensure long-term self-sufficiency.
Ongoing VMO Support and Improvement
Deliver continuous enhancements through on-demand access to expert resources. Track metrics, refine practices, and embed scalable value delivery.
Problems We Solve
Misalignment between delivery and strategic priorities
Ineffective benefits realisation and tracking
Fragmented reporting, governance, and controls
Limited internal capacity for Lean Portfolio Management
Low adoption or inconsistency in Agile ways of working
