Product portfolio and scenario planning

Accelerating development cycles and growing, disruptive competitive pressure have made the capacity for innovation the key factor for remaining competitive globally. This means that corporations must ensure that their project portfolios are agile and flexible. This is the only way for them to make their medium and long-term goals attainable. However, many organizations lack adequate transparency. Their product and process knowledge is not available to all employees, and internal processes are cumbersome and slow.
