Portfolio Management - Influencing the weather?

Webinar with guest Steve Jenner & host Stuart Easton

Russell Ackoff, a pioneer in operations research and management science, said, “A good deal of corporate planning … is like a ritual rain dance. It has no effect on the weather that follows, but those who engage in it think it does. Moreover, much of the advice related to corporate planning is directed at improving the dancing, not the weather."

In this session, portfolio management guru Steve Jenner, co-author of 'Management of Portfolios' and the forthcoming book 'Managing Portfolios', joins TransparentChoice CEO Stuart Easton to explore how we can shift the focus of project portfolio management from influencing the 'dancing' to influencing the 'weather'.
