Strategic Portfolio Management is a subset of PPM that addresses choosing the right projects to meet corporate strategic and financial objectives. Instead of accepting a set of projects in an innovation/R&D portfolio as a given, SPM helps executives analyze the projects and gives them a roadmap to take resources away from low-potential projects and redirect them to high-potential projects.
"Strategic Portfolio Management is the spinal cord of our company." Julia Reznick, Head of Economics, TEVA Pharmaceutical.
"One real value that we see in SmartOrg’s portfolio approach is the ability to use it to justify increase investment in particular projects. We refer to it in ‘investing in the upside." Shawn Williams, Vice President of Research and Development, Rogers Corporation.
