Portfolio Transformation in the Chemical Industry

In the fast-paced and highly regulated crop protection sector, a subsidiary of Poland’s largest chemical group faced a fundamental challenge: managing over 100 ongoing projects without a centralized portfolio view. The absence of unified governance led to fragmented reporting, inconsistent KPIs, and limited transparency for the Group’s executives.

The Challenge

  • Over 100 projects across R&D, operations, compliance, and market expansion running simultaneously.

  • No consolidated portfolio framework to track milestones, risks, or dependencies.

  • C-level executives lacked visibility into project progress, strategic alignment, and resource allocation.

Our Approach

We designed and implemented a comprehensive portfolio management system. The initiative began with a full mapping of the project landscape and cataloging each initiative against critical dimensions: objectives, stakeholders, milestones, KPIs, risks, and dependencies. A reporting cadence and standardized templates were established, ensuring clarity for C-level executives while minimizing overhead for project teams.

The Results

  • A single, transparent portfolio view covering 100+ projects.

  • Unified reporting structure that enabled executives to make informed, timely decisions.

  • Improved stakeholder engagement and cross-functional alignment.

  • Established a governance framework that scaled beyond the subsidiary to inform holding-level practices.

Reflection

By translating scattered initiatives into a coherent portfolio, Lucro Studio enabled both visibility and strategic control. The project became a benchmark within the Group for structured portfolio management.
