system (EVMS) or comparable metrics.
EVMS is valuable in reporting general
progress and forecasting schedule and
cost performance behavior of people
outside the project team such as project
owners, sponsors, etc. They do not solve
project management issues and in
some cases even create them, at the
same time raising questions on project
performance.
Only after achieving Level 3 can an
organization attempt Levels 4 and 5,
which deal with continuous improvement.
The last two levels offer tremendous
benefits – especially if organizations
achieve them before their competitors.
Capital projects are complex undertakings
with significant risks, often impacted

project constraints. Below are some
of our competences.
Strategy and planning
Future market conditions will impact
current business models and force
companies to explore new investment
alternatives to generate larger fre e
cash flows. Successful business models
are driven by a complex set of portfolio
decisions at the business unit, program,
project or individual asset levels.
The array of portfolios can be filtered and
disaggregated to review recommended
investments with the highest returns and
suggested start dates.
Financing & procurement
Deloitte services include raising project
finance, establishing and managing
the procurement process to acquire
services, material or equipment to
deliver a project, and prioritizing capital
allocation between projects.
These portfolio decisions focus on
tradeoffs among competing priorities
— from cost savings to growth and
innovation to compliance with health,
safety and environmental regulations.
The hurdle many organizations must
overcome is how to synthesize vast
amounts of information into data-
driven insights to assess the exposures,
benefits and tradeoffs of different
investment alternatives in order to make
optimal business decisions and lead to
optimal key performance metrics. Project execution
and construction
The Deloitte Portfolio Optimization
approach is customized to meet exact
business requirements by modeling
the Client’s definition of value and
incorporating business constraints and
risk exposures. It is capable of presenting
an array of optimal portfolios, which
maximize defined value, considering a
range of business constraints and risks. While assessing ongoing lifecycle costs
and providing insights around optimiz-
ing, we forecast the performance and
value of assets in operation.
We are developing and managing a pro-
gram to deliver major capital projects.
To ensure delivery confidence, we offer
the development of project controls/
project management processes, project
organizational structure, PM technology
supporting and analytics. Our team ap-
plies EVMS methodologies to give the
client an objective and in-depth report
of project performance.
