To maximize your return, you need to make quality decisions at the portfolio level-ensuring the proper mix of high-risk, high-potential R&D with lower-risk projects that produce near-term returns through incremental improvements to existing products and processes. Using proven decision-quality techniques to analyze your portfolio and balance risk and return enables you to fund and manage projects more efficiently and cost-ejfectively, and ultimately play a key role in maintaining and enhancing your company's success.
