Testimonials
In a growing project economy, the publication of Managing Portfolios has come at exactly the right time, particularly when only one third of organizations achieve even two-thirds of their strategic objectives. For anyone who cares whether their project portfolio succeeds, we finally have a guide that closes the knowing-doing gap to strategy execution that too often resembles a broken trophy cabinet.
This book will transform how organisations manage their portfolios. Written by the world’s leading expert on both benefits and portfolio management, it is essential reading for anyone serious about extracting the greatest value from their organisations’ investments in projects and programmes.
Few areas of transformation management are more challenging than portfolio management - with its complex mix of senior stakeholder management and programme balancing. Yet Steve has somehow managed to boil down a lifetime of learning into easy to understand principles and practices for Portfolio Management success. An absolute must-read for portfolio beginners, journeymen, and professionals alike.
The book is a significant improvement over the old MoP guide, offering a wealth of pragmatic advice and actionable strategies. Its extensive use of case studies makes the theory easy to understand and apply. Notably, it now includes a comprehensive chapter on implementing portfolio management and sustaining progress. Overall, the book provides a complete resource for portfolio directors and managers to design effective strategies for portfolio management implementation and continuous improvement.
