Application portfolio matrix to achieve future goals

Description:

The provided image represents a PowerPoint slide titled "Application Portfolio Matrix to Achieve Future Goals," designed for business strategy presentations. This matrix is a valuable tool for illustrating how various applications or projects within an organization align with the company's strategic priorities and their potential impact on future success. The matrix is divided into four distinct quadrants, each serving a specific purpose:

1. Strategic: 

In this quadrant, applications that are deemed crucial for sustaining the future business strategy are highlighted. These applications represent significant investments or initiatives that play a central role in driving the core mission and long-term objectives of the company.

2. High Potential: 

The High Potential quadrant includes applications that may not be central to current operations but have a high potential for achieving future success. These could be emerging technologies, markets, or initiatives that the company aims to exploit in the future.

3. Key Operational: 

This quadrant encompasses applications and processes that are essential for the day-to-day operations of the company. These applications are critical to maintaining the business's functionality and service delivery.

4. Support: 

Applications placed in the Support quadrant are valuable but not critical to the strategic success of the company. They typically play a supporting role and may be candidates for cost reductions or efficiency improvements.

The slide emphasizes its full editability, allowing presenters to customize the content to match their specific context and audience requirements.
