Portfolio Management

The Run-Grow-Transform Model Heading link

Technology Solutions' Process and Portfolio Management Office uses the RGT model developed by Gartner to support the IT portfolio planning and investment in IT products and services. This Model serves another important purpose in assisting the UIC Chief Information Officer in making decisions in the Resource Management Planning and Resource Capability Management efforts that are required for the development and support of the IT investments. Here's a brief summary to get you up-to-date on what the model means to us
  • Run the Business

    This is an indicator of how much of the IT resource is consumed and focused on the continuing operation of the business. It includes all non-discretionary expenses as part of the run-the-business cost.

  • Grow The Business

    This is an indicator of how much of the IT resource is focused on enhancing IT systems in support of organic business growth. Discretionary investments are more likely to be included in the grow-the-business cost.

  • Transform The Business

    This is an indicator of how much of the IT resource is focused on implementing systems that enable enacting new business models. Discretionary Investments are included in transform-the-business cost.
