Portfolio Management has been an enigmatic term in the world of programme and project management for some time.  It’s original use was within MSP™ as the term to describe the projects that would deliver the Blueprint. 

Over the last 3 or 4 years it’s traditional reference from the banking sector has re-emerged, and the management of a portfolio of investments gave it a different perspective and hence it has evolved to the point where portfolio management defines the entirety of an organisations investment. 

Portfolio Management recognises the existence of two cycles within an organisation, one drives the need for business performance and sustainability, the other is driving the need for change. Both require investment and recognises there is only one pot of money, organisations deploy that investment in many ways, but if the balance between change and sustainable performance is lost, then the organisation  will lose it’s performance edge as a result of under or over investment in key areas. 

Aspire Europe were part of the review team for the new publication developed by Craig Kilford for the OGC. For a copy of the new OGC publication on Portfolio Management, follow this link http://www.ogc.gov.uk/delivery_lifecycle_portfolio_management.asp .
