Portfolio Management in a Time of Change:
Differing Perspectives from Government and Commercial Practice
In this presentation and discussion, we will examine, contrast, and find common ground in some of the evolving approaches to government and commercial practice in project portfolio management (PPM).
This session will aim to present some new perspectives and foster an interesting question and answer session for all participants.
Questions include:
How are changes in the political and economic climate affecting the project portfolio?
What are the impacts of increased risk and uncertainty on the delivery of your major capital projects?
How will shifting budgets and changing approaches to budget development alter the way a portfolio manager deals with the selection, control and evaluation of the project portfolio?
