Project Portfolio Management Training

 

Carl Pritchard“Gerald Leonard has taken a bold first step into an area long neglected. He breaks portfolio management down into manageable chunks and brings clarity to a practice the desperately needs it. Gerald’s work examines the totality of portfolio perspectives, from the executive suite to the project manager, and acknowledges the roles of the disparate players across the enterprise. His materials thoughtfully examine not only the theory of portfolio management, but also the practical day-to-day of ensuring consistency of strategy and approach. Definitely worth your consideration.”
