Abstract: This article explores the connection between strategy and actions as a critical factor for organization to gain a conscious strategic advantage from what done in day to day activities. This connection is not always clear and often the officially stated strategy is far from the strategic direction showed from an analysis of the portfolio of initiatives undertaken by an organization. Project Portfolio Management (PPM) methodology can help in assessing and improve this connection as to start a PPM this connection must be clarified. This article aims to verify 2 hypotheses. The first is that “it is possible to implement a Project Portfolio Management system in an Organization without a Strategic planning process in place.” The second is that “the implementation of a Project Portfolio Management system helps organizations to growth their Strategic thinking and could be a first step in strategic planning.”
