Future-proofing: Successful portfolio leadership and management in uncertain times
APM Portfolio Management SIG Conference - 16 May 2023
Many people are asking ‘how can we future-proof our portfolios?’ This conference is a fantastic opportunity to hear the experiences of executives and senior specialists in this field, as well as networking with fellow professionals.
The conference will explore the key tactics and strategies that are being used across different organisations, and understand which are working, those that aren’t and why. We will also discuss how leadership styles are evolving to meet the challenge now and in the future - all brought to life through experiences.

Exhibitor
imprend
Ever been the victim of dodgy or completely absent project handover? Teams, roles, responsibilities, processes, documents, stakeholders, events, milestones - just a selection of the many items to include in a handover, yet so often missed out.
imprend structures knowledge transfer from leavers through a flowing interview, diving below the surface for tips and pointers that get new joiners up to speed fast. For those newly picking up the slack, interactive visuals and contextual search provide answers with minimum effort.
With over 12% of staff leaving each year, costing thousands of pounds in reduced productivity while onboarding replacements, isn't it time we started structuring transition?
Completely free to try for the first five handovers – use imprend for your next leaver and be left with the peace of mind to continue leading your team to new heights.
