- BC-180.10Investment Prioritization & FundingCollect proposals for change through one door, judge them on the same criteria and fund the ones that advance the strategy most per dollar, with the rest told no clearly and early.
- BC-180.20Portfolio Planning & BalancingSee all funded change as one portfolio, balance it against the people and money available, and resolve the dependencies and collisions before they become delays.
- BC-180.30Delivery GovernanceGovern programs and projects through consistent stage gates, honest status and clear escalation, whatever delivery method a team uses, so leadership learns about trouble while it can still help.
- BC-180.40Transformation Program LeadershipLead the large, cross-functional programs that change how the enterprise operates — new operating models, major platform shifts, integrations — as a coherent whole rather than a set of projects that happen to share a name.
- BC-180.50Organizational Change ManagementPrepare the people a change affects to work the new way — understanding, skills, support — so adoption follows go-live instead of lagging it by a year.
- BC-180.60Benefits RealizationDefine the benefits each investment promised, assign owners, measure whether they arrived after delivery and feed the answer back into how the next business case is judged.
