Onemind Portfolio Management
Portfolio Management is a term much bandied about in organisations, but not particularly well understood.
Organisations often put considerable effort into improving how they manage their programmes and projects – because they want to do things well. Unfortunately, it does not matter how well you do something, if it is the wrong thing to do. Portfolio Management focuses on deciding what the right thing is.
Organisations are increasingly recognizing that to improve their services, senior management must ensure that the investment portfolio serves the strategic objectives and that all changes, across the portfolio, are synchronized.
Portfolio Management is critical in ensuring that the best initiatives are identified, prioritized and invested in, without being undermined by less important initiatives. It is a clear discipline in its own right, distinct from the techniques and skills of programme and project management.
This course will equip you with a solid foundation in Portfolio Management.
