Effective portfolio evaluation and management is the key to sustainable competitive advantage and shareholder value growth. Too often, portfolio management processes resemble one of two extremes: a simplistic ranking of projects based on a single measure of value (e.g., forecast peak sales), or a complex black box with which modelers seek to "optimise" the value of the portfolio subject to perceived constraints.
So the question is: how can decision makers like yourself be certain that you possess a consistent, and effective, approach to project evaluation and portfolio management? And can your company capture both the internal and external factors affecting the value of the projects you undertake? Hard questions, which we can help you answer.
If this is your situation
- You need to make informed risk taking, growth, innovation and development/options selection.
- You must respond to risk management codes/regulations and related conformance requirements (COSO-ERM, as an example).
- You require a diagnostic review of your corporate/enterprise risk frameworks (against existing "codes").
- You want to conduct a review of dependent business routines (e.g., the linkage between risk and planning, risk and business reporting/metrics).
- You need an accurate valuation of your shareholder services, your economic capital modelling and economic services.
- You want to develop and deploy new decision and options pricing analytics.
What PwC can do for you.
Fortunately, there is a place to turn for answers to such pressing problems: PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). At PwC we provide a wide range of services to help you successfully develop, implement, and embed an effective portfolio evaluation and management approach. For instance, we can provide consistent and accurate estimates of the potential value, risk and investment options for each investment opportunity. We are also able to improve the allocation of your resources in order to maximise performance, as well as identify revenue gaps that can be filled by in-licensing compounds. And we can quickly identify those projects that do not fit well with your core strategies and show you they can be disposed of or out-licensed. At PricewaterhouseCoopers we tailor our services to the style and needs of your organisation.
