Why each option
Monitoring resource utilization, accelerated growth, market share growth, and improved efficiency gives the portfolio manager a direct, balanced view of both operational performance and strategic goal achievement.
Supplier value and societal value are external stakeholder outcome measures and do not directly indicate portfolio efficiency or effectiveness.
Economic value, shareholder value, employee value, and customer value are enterprise business outcome metrics that do not specifically measure portfolio management performance.
Resource utilization measures how efficiently portfolio inputs are being deployed, while accelerated growth and market share growth reflect strategic positioning outcomes. Improved efficiency ties operational execution directly to the mandate for effectiveness, making this set of metrics the most comprehensive for portfolio monitoring.
New products and economic profit are lagging outcome indicators and do not capture the operational and strategic efficiency of the portfolio itself.
