Eli Lilly and CompanyAssociate Consultant- Portfolio Manager
Apr. 2008 - Oct. 2010APVAP Application Implementation for GBIP Global Business Integration Project at Eli Lilly and Company. This recommendation is from Pam L. Johnson - APVAP expert at Eli Lilly and Comany who is not on the Linked In Network at this current time. Cynthia and I worked together on the Application Portfolio Value Assessment Process. The process compares applications within a portfolio and the results can be used to help make data based decisions on how to manage the application portfolio in the future. Cynthia and I had the responsibility to implement APVAP in different business areas. I coached her on the tools, the process, how to analyze the results and establish action plans, given I had several months experience in the process. The company we were working for wanted this assessment completed for all applications within a given timeframe and she led her business area through the activity in the time requested. Through this experience, she has demonstrated that she understands the processes and the tools and can use the information from the tools to help influence and shape of the GBIP area’s application portfolio. Skills she gained with implementing the APVAP will help an organization understanding the cost to run the application, the benefit it provides to the organization, and where the application is in its lifecycle. Thank you,
Pamela L. Johnson
