According to Gartner research, in the past year, 83% of research and development (R&D) leaders report that the level of scrutiny on portfolio decisions from senior leaders and the board has increased.

Unfortunately, R&D portfolios are not healthy when measured by standard assessment criteria such as balance across risk, value, and time horizon.

The path forward is to increase the quality of the decision-making associated with the portfolio.

R&D leaders who have increased the quality of which projects and initiatives are included in the portfolio, and which ones are not, found improved portfolio health by as much as 72% on certain key factors. So, what best practices do R&D leaders need to improve portfolio health?

In this webinar, Atul Dighe (LinkedIn profile) Gartner VP Advisory will discuss the five markers of high-quality portfolio decisions and best practices for putting these markers into action.

Discussion Topics:

• Get to know why most R&D leaders believe their current portfolio health is poor
• Learn about the impact of the 5 markers of high-quality portfolio decisions on portfolio health
• Explore best practices to enact the 5 markers and drive significant impact on improving portfolio health

Marcus Buckingham, (LinkedIn profile)  is the world’s leading researcher on strengths and performance.

In his most recent book—Love+Work: How to Find What You Love, Love What You Do, and Do It for the Rest of Your Life —Buckingham focuses on helping us discover where we’re at our best, both at work and in life.

Buckingham writes that each of us has different loves and loathes, along with different strengths and passions.

He says it’s possible to discover the unique things we love so we can build a career around them—whether just starting out as a graduate or seeking a mid-career reinvention.

But how do we get there?

In this live, interactive HBR webinar, Buckingham will share a roadmap for finding and infusing love into our work and careers.

 Specifically, he will discuss how to:

• Use love to reveal your unique gifts
• Pinpoint what makes you stand out
• Choose roles where you’ll excel
• Mold your existing role so it calls upon the best of you
• Position yourself as a leader in such a way that followers will quickly trust you

Love is the most powerful human emotion and is the source of creativity, collaboration, insight, and excellence.

Love has been systematically drained from our lives, especially our work. It’s time we brought love back in.

How will AI-based content-generating tools change your enterprise, products, and services?

All the new options, tools, and technologies have opened up opportunities for growth, savings, and risk.

Your happiness and success depend on your working relationships. The people you manage.

How well you work with your boss. The way collaboration happens with colleagues and peers. How you connect with important prospects and key clients.

But the hard truth is this: most of us leave the health and fate of these relationships to chance. We say “Hi,” exchange pleasantries, and then hope for the best.

But every relationship becomes suboptimal at some point, whether it’s a good one that goes off the rails or one that was poor from the start.

And when that happens, most of us don’t know what to do about it.

We are just resigned to the fact that this is what happens: relationships always get a little broken, or a little stale, or a little worse.

In this practical session, you’ll learn how to reverse that trend and build the best possible working relationship with anyone. Well, almost anyone.

You will:

• learn the three attributes of a resilient and long-lasting relationship
• understand how you can aspire to “the best possible relationship” with every one of your key working relationships
• investigate the one awkward but essential conversation that will set up success
• take a deep dive into one of the essential questions, and prepare your best answers to them

You will leave with a renewed optimism about the quality of their working relationships, a determination to actively manage them, and a plan to get things started.
