CONFERENCE BACKGROUND
Despite an
improved economy, the pressure to do more with less
has not waned. In fact, senior management now wants even bigger bang
for the buck. Simply leveling out your product pipeline is not
enough; overcoming bottlenecks is just the baseline. There are no
easy answers – gone are the days when adding more projects to
increase your odds was effective.
Clearly you must
go further than ever before to balance resources with opportunities;
to "innovate," spot winners, drop losers, anticipate shifts,
re-deploy -- swiftly, decisively, and intelligently.
What (and how
much) data do you need to drive these critical decisions? Can you
keep it simple or should you consider what the latest batch of
portfolio management tools has to offer? Whatever course of
action you take, one thing is for certain, your ability to get an
accurate read on what your resource capacity is at any given time
and to dynamically redeploy those resources to match shifting
priorities is critical.
That’s why
Management Roundtable’s annual conference,
Product Pipeline & Portfolio Management, to be held
April 25 – 27, 2005 in Chicago will focus on how to
maximize your resources and your opportunities
- by choosing the best of both and being ready to shift as needed.
You will learn:
-
Strategies, techniques and
approaches to dynamically "offload" and "on-load" the pipeline
-
How to coordinate across multiple
roadmaps (product, technology, market)
-
What tools are most effective for
prioritizing projects in the portfolio
-
How to link resource planning to
strategic portfolio management
-
To determine the best data points
for making decisions - simplify, simplify, simplify
