Research Portfolio Management is essential to ensuring a satisfactory return on investment from research and development (R&D) expenditure. Whether you are located in a government organisation, a NGO or a private sector company, you will exposed to R&D risk and need to implement strategies and processes to manage this risk. Without R&D portfolio management, it is likely that your R&D portfolio will fail to meet your expectations of stakeholder or shareholder returns.

ResEva has experience of a number of portfolio management techniques that can mediate or mitigate research risk. We provide assistance with the selection of the most appropriate approach and its implementation in your organisation, including operational management issues.
