18. Portfolio Management Portfolio management is a dynamic decision process whereby a business’s list of active new product (and R&D) projects is constantly up-dated and revised. In this process, new projects are evaluated, selected and prioritised: existing projects may be: accelerated, killed or de-prioritised; and resources are allocated and re-allocated to the active attractive projects.

19. Dynamic process Strategic objectives Internal resource allocation Portfolio management tools External transactions and partnerships

20. Evaluation criteria for projects Technical – do we have experience? Research direction and balance – compatability? Competitive rationale – is it superior/necessary? Patentability Stability of the market – time enough for ROI? Integration and synergy – a good fit?

21. Evaluation criteria for projects (cont.) Market - what is the size, is it growing, is there an existing customer base, is the potential big enough? Channel fit – do we have existing customers? Manufacturing – can we use existing resources? Financial - what investment is expected/needed? Strategic fit – does it support short/long term plans?

Importance of Portfolio Management Financial To maximise return; to maximise R&D productivity; to achieve financial goals To maintain the competitive position of the business To increase sales and market share To allocate scarce resources properly and efficiently To forge the link between project selection and business strategy: The portfolio is the expression of strategy: it must support the strategy

23. Importance of Portfolio Management To achieve focus: Not doing too many projects, focusing limited resources on the ‘great’ projects. To achieve balance: The right balance between long and short term/high risk and low risk projects, consistent with the business’s goals To communicate priorities better within the organisation, both vertically and horizontally To provide better objectivity in project selection – to weed out bad projects
