To translate the innovation strategy into concrete projects, the Chief of Staff (CoS) needs to work closely with both management and the project office (PMO). The CoS is responsible for breaking down strategic goals into clear project assignments, prioritizing initiatives, and ensuring that resources are distributed equitably. In Swedish companies, this often takes place through workshops and dialogue meetings where different departments have the opportunity to contribute their perspectives. The CoS uses portfolio management to monitor that innovation projects are aligned with the company’s overall strategy and that they deliver measurable results. It is also important for the CoS to establish clear decision-making processes and follow-up procedures, while maintaining flexibility and adaptability. By working in a consensus-driven manner and involving key personnel from different parts of the organization, it is ensured that innovation projects receive broad support and that any obstacles can be addressed early on. Digital tools and regular reporting help CoS keep everyone informed and engaged throughout the process.
