SAN JOSE, Calif. – March 26, 2026 – Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) sponsored a briefing paper from Harvard Business Review (HBR) Analytic Services titled, Connecting the Data That Powers Real-Time, Value-Generating Insights. The paper examines a growing challenge facing enterprises, identified as “operational blindness,” and explores how value stream management (VSM) and strategic portfolio management (SPM) help organizations close the gap between activity and ROI.
As organizations have adopted agentic AI to boost output, they have inadvertently created disconnected data silos across various business functions. This fragmentation creates a value gap, preventing leaders from accurately measuring ROI. To address this, enterprises must move from managing isolated projects to orchestrating connected value streams with end-to-end data visibility.
VSM enables organizations to measure how work flows and translates into value, integrating data across the enterprise to improve insights and ROI. SPM builds on this foundation, ensuring investments are aligned with business priorities, connecting financial decisions to execution, and continuously evaluating whether initiatives are delivering ROI.
Key highlights from this paper include:
Real-time connected data across tools and teams is essential to understanding how value is created and delivered.
VSM and SPM provide the visibility needed to align strategy, execution, and ROI for better-informed business decisions.
Strong data infrastructure—including automated data ingestion, error scrubbing, and data anonymization—is critical to successful data-driven projects.
The paper features expert insights from industry analysts at Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) and real-world examples from leading organizations, including Tokio Marine North America Services (TMNAS), Honeywell, and Parchment. Each example demonstrates how connecting siloed data improves information flow and enables better decisions around project funding, development, and value creation.
“Enterprises are awash in data, but too many leaders are still in the dark on whether their technology investments are delivering ROI,” said Katy Groves, Head of Product, ValueOps, Broadcom. “As this HBR Analytic Services paper shows, value stream management and strategic portfolio management give organizations real-time visibility to bridge the gap between strategy and execution, reducing risk, speeding decisions, and unlocking measurable ROI in an AI-driven world.”
