Corporate Portfolio Management Association Much has been written about how finance organizations can become strategic partners with the businesses they support. Yet most are not despite significant efforts. Given the time, money and effort spent, you may be a bit demoralized. Paradoxically, the link between finance and the business has been under finance's proverbial nose for some time - resource allocation. A discipline known as corporate portfolio management works to actively manage the company's resource allocation as a portfolio of discretionary investments. All companies allocate their resources - very few optimize their resource allocation. Finance is uniquely positioned to enable this because they sit at the nexus of information and data required to undertake a corporate portfolio management effort. (Note: Corporate portfolio management is often referred to by different terms so as a point of reference, terms such as IT portfolio management, enterprise portfolio management, product portfolio management, project portfolio management, resource allocation and investment optimization are similar. In fact, these all are slices or subsets of corporate portfolio management.)
