Making the hard decisions webinar

This webinar, held on Tuesday 16 June 2020, and presented by Petula Allison and Adam Skinner, explored the challenges faced in decision making when managing a portfolio.

With a range of senior stakeholders, many moving parts, internal and external influences, making sure you have the right information, presented in the right way, at the right time for the audience, can be key in achieving the perceived ‘good decision or outcome’, but is that enough?

This webinar explored the challenges faced in achieving a decision, a ‘good decision’ or outcome.

The content built on a Portfolio Directors event where we explored the challenge of decision making at the portfolio level, with cross representation of Portfolio Directors across sectors and industry.

It explored the key themes from the event, first looking at what constitutes a ‘good decision’ and then how to create the right situation to achieve a ‘good decision’.

The presenters then opened up the discussion and there were contributions from the audience on their experiences on decision making.
