AI-Enabled Strategic Portfolio Management: From Oversight to Outcomes to Agents. A Meet the Boss digital roundtable in partnership with PwC, Atlassian, and AWS

According to Gartner research, only 16% of organizations are effective at strategic portfolio management, and fewer than half of digital initiatives meet their intended business outcome targets.

The gap isn't ambition – it's infrastructure. Many enterprises still govern transformation portfolios with structures built for a simpler era: fragmented tooling across 3-5 disconnected systems; governance that produces 60-slide status decks instead of surfacing the three decisions that should be made this week; and value statements written into the business case but never revisited during delivery. The result is strategic drift, delayed value realization, and risk that only surfaces too late.

Join this virtual roundtable, in collaboration with PwC, Atlassian, and AWS to explore how AI-enabled strategic portfolio management can become a connected, intelligent operating model – one that pairs real-time portfolio data and predictive signals with agentic AI to enable leaders to continuously monitor, recommend, and act on portfolio health.
