Decision Latency: The Hidden Tax on UK Project ROI
Decision latency is the primary driver of project overruns. In the UK, only 34% of PMOs are rated as "highly effective." The rest are just recording their own failure.
Decision Latency: The Hidden Tax on UK Project ROI
Most PMOs act as historians, recording delays rather than preventing them. The single greatest destroyer of project ROI is decision latency. Every day a critical path decision sits in a steering committee backlog, your internal rate of return drops.
Resource Allocation is Not Strategy
Project managers often confuse resource smoothing with strategic allocation. If you are not prioritising capital towards the projects with the highest GVA (Gross Value Added), you are mismanaging shareholder funds.
Governance Rigour
A high-performing PMO requires more than just templates. It requires the authority to stop projects that no longer meet their business case. Only 34% of UK PMOs achieve this level of effectiveness.
Simplif-i builds PMOs that act as value engines. We eliminate decision latency and enforce the governance rigour required for Lead Auditor grade results.
