2006 Project Portfolio Management Roundtable
Organisations operate in a highly demanding and customer-driven environment where the shift is towards improved business performance to meet customer expectations. Often there is no shortage of initiatives, but converting these into tangible results can be problematic.
NB: The results of the round table will be out soon.
As a result Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is one of the hot topics in the management of the enterprise. It is assumed that the enterprise, via the selection and execution of projects, positions itself for increased strength and profitability as well as assuring that the firm continues to thrive in a world of constant change and the threat of competition. With a more disciplined way of integrating investment in projects with business strategies the PPM process can assure the overall welfare and success of the enterprise.
This roundtable discussed the following three main themes:
- Issues and challenges for companies seeking to implement PPM.
- Ways of fine tuning PPM practices to make a lasting business impact.
- Predict the PPM trend in the next five years as a management process tool for an enterprise.
