As a portfolio manager you will have come to realise that few organisations, and particularly not yours, have stand-alone projects that can be treated in isolation.
CITI’s consultants are equipped and experienced in helping you structure and manage your project portfolio to achieve optimum performance. The shift from a series of independent projects to an interdependent portfolio often happens unnoticed by senior management. It is a (gradual) consequence of increasing demand for change being met by increasing investment in, and commitment to, projects across the organisation.
From the professional portfolio management course you will gain access to CITI’s series of portfolio management tools and techniques, coupled to a vast amount of experience and expertise. All this is aimed at assisting you, as the portfolio manager, in responding effectively to the more complex environment in which you have to flourish.
By focusing on project dependencies and the balance between the constraints and the relative value of the work stack, CITI is able to assist you in establishing decision-making processes based on sound portfolio management principles. This enables you to maximise the return on your organisation’s project management investment, and to be certain that decisions are being made at the appropriate level, based on the right information and priorities.
Management of the portfolio in isolation isn't sufficient without ensuring that the stakeholders are engaged, including any external contractors and suppliers working into the portfolio. People management and project assurance also feature highly on the portfolio manager's agenda.
