Deeksha advises PMO, EPMO and PPM leaders on demonstrating and delivering business value from their portfolios. Her coverage centers on benefit tracking and realization, quantifying initiative benefits (including qualitative and nonfinancial benefits), operationalizing benefits tracking across the initiative lifecycle, establishing accountability for value delivery, and communicating value through executive-ready value stories and OKR/KPI/ODM frameworks. She also advises on portfolio demand management (initiative intake, tiered and adaptive prioritization, and evolving the PPM function from order-taker to decision partner) and on PMO operating model design, including the six operating-model components, PMO archetype selection (EPMO, VRO, SRO, TPO) and evolving the PMO to bridge the strategy-to-execution gap.
Deeksha Consulted and provided research support to Academic researchers from across the world in the fields of Economics, Business Management, and Finance.
