Begin at the Beginning: Resource Planning -
The Foundation of Portfolio Management
There is no longer disagreement about the importance of resource planning to portfolio management. Portfolio management without a robust resource planning process is static, leaving out the most powerful levers for improvement. With all that is now known, most companies still self-identify as being poor at resource planning. Many of these companies also claim they are not mature enough to take on such an initiative. Resource planning is where you start portfolio management, not where you end. Resource planning is a key driver of portfolio selection and is a necessary condition for improvement in execution. This keynote presentation will elevate the traditional status of resource planning within portfolio management, and will make the case for getting started sooner rather than later.
