The portfolio management process should never resemble a tunnel where every spending proposal that enters is subsequently approved and exits.

WHITE PAPER: Is your portfolio management process a funnel or a tunnel?

In his latest whitepaper, Milvio DiBartolomeo looks into effective portfolio management practices and some common mistakes and misconceptions that are prevalent in many organizations and industries.

Milvio explores why good portfolio management always has a “waiting list” of valued opportunities ready to take up resources (funds and people) as they become available.

The paper includes lots of insight and advice for improving and optimizing practices.
