Dr. Charlie Mayo once said in 1928, “if we excel at anything, it is our capacity for translating idealism into action”. This is one of the reasons Mayo Clinic leadership began searching for a better way to manage their large, complex, project portfolio in 2007. With the changes and challenges in the healthcare environment, new and more advanced business practices were needed to enhance the success of achieving the vision for patients. To accomplish this, the concept of Enterprise Project Portfolio Management (EPPM) was introduced to Mayo Clinic as an approach successfully used by many other large, industry-leading organizations.
