Workshop Outline

This workshop is a scenario-based experience that challenges the participants to think critically. The workshop was intentionally designed to elevate the status quo of tackle and mechanist of Intake to create a value-driven portfolio.

 

An idea consists of more than a single one-liner requiring critical and thoughtful analysis to be funded. Imagine walking into a bank or the "Shark Tank" seeking funding with no business case - justification. Imagine you are the bank and asked to fund an initiative. What do you need? Do you know what is considered good?

 

This workshop aims to enable practitioners to move beyond the status quo of processing requests and to challenge and rationalize the work funnel. Project demand far outweighs supply, and the ability to cull the list fast while performing much-needed analysis to qualify the right opportunity.

 

The outcome of this workshop enables the practitioner to immediately apply techniques to assessing opportunities and consider an approach to refining the existing intake process to support a portfolio management function.
