    Strategic Portfolio Management: Bringing Strategy Down to Earth—and Getting It Done

    Many organizations struggle to translate lofty strategic goals into actionable, measurable initiatives. In this session, veteran portfolio consultant Christopher Gentry breaks down what Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) really means—and why many businesses get it wrong. Drawing from over a decade of consulting with Fortune 500 companies and candid case studies from consulting engagements, this session uncovers how to turn executive ambition into structured execution.

    Attendees will walk through real-world lessons in portfolio prioritization, business case development, resource planning, and strategic governance. With firsthand insights from both mature enterprises and high-growth startups, Christopher explores the root causes of portfolio failure—such as lack of business cases, poor metrics, and nonexistent governance—and offers a practical, no-nonsense roadmap for PMO leaders, strategists, and executives to align vision with value.

    This session is perfect for those looking to evolve from project-driven operations into outcome-driven portfolio leadership. Expect straight talk, real metrics, and proven frameworks that help organizations drive the right work—and get it done.

    Learning Objectives/Takeaways
    1. Understand the foundational elements of Strategic Portfolio Management and how it differs from project or product management.
    2. Learn how to design and implement an intake funnel to evaluate, prioritize, and execute strategic initiatives effectively.
    3. Identify critical portfolio metrics (e.g., ROI, feasibility, strategic alignment) and how to tie them to long-term outcomes.
    4. Discover how to diagnose organizational misalignment through visibility, governance, and resource allocation.
    5. Gain practical techniques to engage executives and align strategic decisions with actual organizational capacity.

    Topic Areas
    1. Strategic Portfolio Management
    2. Project & Program Governance
    3. PMO Leadership
    4 Business Case Development
    5. Enterprise Change & Transformation

    Speaker Bio
    Christopher D. Gentry is a seasoned portfolio and transformation consultant with over 15 years of experience leading strategic initiatives for Fortune 500 companies including Dell Technologies, American Express, Deloitte, PwC, and Apple.
