I am just about finished with the final presentation walk-throughs for the upcoming ProjectWorld/World Congress for Business Analysts Regional Conference in San Diego. 

Since most of you won't be there...here are the key points that I will reiterate at the end:

'Integrating Innovation in Project Portfolio Management' Presentation Key Points:

• Each step along the overall organizational creativity and innovation process requires management of a set of tasks, resource availability/time, issues and risks, decision points, etc. 
• In essence, project/program/portfolio management skills
• By combining the skills of a project manager with the skills of an idea generator, we have the ingredients for successful innovation
• A dreamer...matched with a doer
• By combining the discipline of project management with the free-wheeling excitement of idea generation, we have increased the odds of innovative success
• Unbridled enthusiasm...matched with a set of tasks leading to an end
