Portfolio Management - Managing Shared, Perishable Resources
March 7, 2008 @ StrategyDriven from Nathan Ives
Portfolio managers direct deployment of assigned resources across the several programs, projects, and processes they oversee in a manner that maximizes the organization’s return on investment. (See Figure 1) Complicating the portfolio manager’s work is the myriad of differing resource types; resources that are often limited and shared by the portfolio’s many components.
All work requires resources for its performance. Resource types can be generally categorized as:
- Personnel - skilled labor and knowledge resources
- Equipment - tools, software applications, and facilities resources
- Material - land, parts and components, commodity materials and supplies, data, and intellectual property resources
- Financial - cash, credit, and other financial instrument resources
