Project optimization system
First Claim
1. A computer readable medium having sequences of instructions stored therein, which when executed cause the processors in a plurality of computers that have been connected via a network to perform a project optimization method, comprising:
- obtaining specifications for one or more projects and an organization ontology;
mapping the organization impact of specified project outputs using said ontology;
creating an organization optimization model using said impacts and ontology; and
simulating organization financial performance with said model to determine the optimal specification for the one or more projects.

Abstract
An automated system (100) and method for optimizing project risk and return from the perspective of the sponsor. The project, project features and feature options are defined using project design system and project financial system data. The expected project outputs are then mapped to matrices of value and risk for the sponsor. The system calculates a value for the project then identifies the mix of features and feature options that maximize expected project value from the perspective of the sponsor. The system also identifies the mix of features and feature options that maximize expected project value while minimizing project risk from other frames.

35. A computer readable medium having sequences of instructions stored therein, which when executed cause the processor in a computer to perform an organization project method, comprising:
-
aggregating organization data in accordance with an xml schema, using at least a portion of the data to create matrices of organization value and risk, combining the quantified inter-relationship between the elements, factors and risks identified by the matrices of value and risk with the xml schema to form an ontology;
obtaining specifications for one or more projects, mapping the organization impact of specified project outputs using said ontology, creating an organization optimization model using said impacts and ontology; and
simulating organization financial performance with said model to determine the optimal specification for the one or more projects.
