Enterprise Innovation Management is often thought of different and distinct from Project/Program/Product Portfolio Management leading to questions of EIM versus PPM. In this interactive session we will explore how PPM - whether your portfolios are Products, Programs or Projects - needs to be an integral part of your overall Enterprise Innovation Management framework and toolset. We will bring “Jobs To Be Done” type of thinking to the discussion to explore the linkages and what “Jobs” we are trying to accomplish to meet corporate goals.
