• Are you comfortable with the level of insight you are able to provide on your company’s project portfolio?
• Are you able to have the right conversations with your senior management rather than worrying about the quality of the data presented?
• Do you sometimes struggle to ensure that you meet the portfolio reporting needs of a disparate set of stakeholders?

Analytics packages are becoming more and more popular as a way of manipulating, interpreting and presenting portfolio information.

These can be applied over any Portfolio Project Management (PPM) system and are designed to be easily configurable by upskilling existing internal resources.

The tricky part, as with most projects, is often ensuring you have defined clear outcomes and follow a structured approach to implement change and realise the benefits.

Inventory is more than a single pile of short term assets sitting on the company balance sheet.

When used properly, inventory protects or creates value by fulfilling one of six roles.

In order to act as stewards of a working capital efficiency, supply chain leaders must orchestrate three types of decisions across the enterprise: design choices, situational business decisions and optimized operations.

In this webinar Paul Lord, (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Research Director provides supply chain strategists, and planning and inventory management leaders with a comprehensive framework for managing and communicating the complex combination of constraints, risks, events and decisions that determine balance sheet inventory.

Discussion Topics:

• The three categories of supply chain decisions that determine inventory
• The six inventory functions that create or protect value in the supply chain
• Five themes for improved use of inventory in the supply chain
