Is Your Product Portfolio Working for You?

his practical leadership workshop, led by Steve Dougan, explores how manufacturing organisations can align product strategy, lifecycle management and market positioning to drive sustainable growth.

Many manufacturing organisations focus heavily on operational performance but rarely step back to assess whether their product portfolio truly supports their long-term strategy and market opportunity.

During this interactive session, participants will work through a structured diagnostic framework to evaluate their portfolio and identify where products are creating value, where risks exist and where opportunities for growth may lie.
