TEI 203: Portfolio Management – with Roger Warburton, PhD

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you the next
episode of... The Everyday Innovator with host Chad McAllister,
PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation
and managing products become more successful, grow their careers,
and STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode: What happens when
you or your organization has more than one product to manage? It’s
hard enough managing resources to sell and improve one product, but
throw another one in the mix and see what happens. Or how about
several more products? Managing all those products is a challenge,
and frankly, few organizations do it well. They use portfolio
management to provide some order to the chaos, but for real order
and reasoned decision making, my guest has been teaching people for
the last decade to use Dynamic Portfolio Management. His name is
Roger Warburton and he is a co-author, along with Steve Kay, of the
recent book titled, Dynamic Portfolio Management: The Bargery
Fabrics Case. Roger and I have both had the pleasure of teaching at
Boston University, full-time for him and part-time for me. His
integration of project management, product management, and strategy
makes him the right person to learn proper portfolio management
from. In the discussion, Roger shares the: History of portfolio
management,Challenges companies encounter with traditional
portfolio management,Implementation of Dynamic Portfolio
Management, andRoad mapping for portfolio management. As product
managers take on more responsibility and become product leaders,
you’ll need to know how to construct and manage a portfolio and the
best approach is Dynamic Portfolio Management.
