    Agile COP Webinar

    Your portfolio is not a wish list.
    It's a living system.

    About This Session

    What separates high-performing portfolios from stalled ones?

    Most organizations treat their portfolio like a wish list. Venture capitalists treat theirs like a living system — and that difference is everything.

    "Explore how VCs distinguish reserving capital from allocating it, why a properly constructed portfolio is intentionally oversubscribed, and how to use budget guardrails that protect innovation instead of killing it."

    Luke also introduces Horizon 0 — the often-overlooked discipline of decommissioning legacy investments — as the prerequisite for funding what comes next.

    Whether you're new to SPM/LPM or a seasoned practitioner, this session sharpens how you think about portfolio investment, priority alignment, and the leadership decisions that determine whether your portfolio thrives or stagnates.
