System Benefits

Innovator^™ Brings Control and Efficiency to Your Innovation Process

At its simplest (and perhaps purest) level, Portfolio Management is about defining a product development roadmap that will deliver the desired growth goals, and then ensuring that the resources are in place to enable its delivery. It is important to get the balance of projects right and manage those projects effectively. In practice this is of course much harder to achieve. With conflicting organizational demands, leaders can struggle to ensure their project and product portfolios contain a sufficient number of high-value projects, that their portfolios are balanced, and that they maintain an appropriate number of projects. All of which must be free of undue delays and achievable within the resource constraints of the business.

The right portfolio is more than just a list of the ‘best’ projects. It’s the collection of projects that works together best to achieve the goals of the organization. A single-source of truth for fact-based decision making, Bubble Innovator™ will enable you to:

Good Portfolio Health Matters: “77% of companies with healthy innovation portfolios anticipate achieving their 5-year revenue growth goals”

“Key projects are too often crowded out by a flood of short term incremental projects. Helping business partners make better decisions about those incremental projects—not increasing their belief in the value of longer-term projects— is much more successful at improving portfolio health”.
