Strategic Portfolio Decisions

Offered through the Stanford Center for Professional Development in partnership with SDG, Strategic Portfolio Decisions is an elective course in the prestigious Stanford Certificate in Strategic Decision and Risk Management. Portfolio management decisions rely on the same foundations of Decision Quality, the Dialogue Decision Process, and decision analysis, but the context of optimal resource allocation across many assets is significantly different from strategy or single-decision problems.

The objective of this course is to introduce participants to a Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) process. Topics include

• The value proposition and motivation for an SPM process
  
• Language and basic methodology as it pertains to SPM
  
• Portfolio roll-up and evaluation
  
• Interpretation of results
