SPR = Strategic Portfolio Review. If you want portfolio funding, you create a business case that outlines why the initiative has clear value and makes sense to do, and they review it and approve, deny, or request more info. Cigna had a process like this too but it was facilitated by IT, I believe, whereas it's facilitated by the EPMO at HCSC.

It’s a few of the corporate strategy leaders. They decide which initiatives move forward.
