Building, Planning and Managing
Post-Crisis Project Portfolios

Portfolio management presents an opportunity for governing bodies to exert influence over a collection of projects, programs, and ongoing initiatives, guiding them towards specific outcomes. While program and project management focus on the execution of individual initiatives, portfolio management is crucial for selecting the most appropriate mix of projects. This becomes increasingly vital in the post-COVID era, where organizations must adapt to a changing landscape characterized by new risks, approaches, priorities, and the need for flexible yet effective governance.

Our "Building, Planning, and Managing Post-COVID Project Portfolios" training course offers practical insights and examples on how organizations can utilize processes and tools to identify, select, prioritize, govern, allocate resources, monitor, and report on the status and performance of project portfolios.
