1.0 Introduction
Organizational performance is the area of the business of operations that were based on
the mission and vision for a tactical plan that supports financial management practices for
reporting financial condition, profit performance, and cash flow. According to Kitonga, (2011),
“is a discipline dealing with the financial decisions for long and short term goals to ensure the
return on capital exceeds the cost without taking excessive financial risk” (p.1) are the functional
elements of capital arrangement resolution, investment assessment methods, and dividend
strategy
2.0 Success of the Agency for Adopting Portfolio Management
At the macro and micro level, the visibility level has enabled us gain good control over
our projects. This is because; the agency is able to reduce the projects costs. This is primarily
achieved through the elimination or reduction of duplicate efforts. Most importantly, we have
realized that human resource is key in the implementation of projects. Therefore, a better skilled
and experienced human capital is employed. This is beneficial to the American society through a
reduction of unemployment. It is important to that note nothing frustrates the project than
shortage of skills. Therefore with good capacity planning tool a manager can meet the overall
and specific demand and redeployment of resources (Martin, et al. 1998). With resource
database, we were able to find the right resource for each project as well as keeping the profiles
up to update.
The portfolio management has helped us to prove the value to stakeholders. This is one
super value that separates success of Portfolio from the rest. Many investors have a vested

interest in companies which have adopted portfolio management. In any management, this
perception counts (Fersten & Fersten, 2005). For this reason, we allow relevant stakeholders to
access the status of the project as well as the data they need. The process reveals some
transparency thereby boosting the confidence of the stakeholders. As a result, many stakeholders
have gained much appreciation for what we are doing in terms of execution of the project and the
overall achievements.
Nonetheless, in order to improve repeatable success, the management has to establish
better practices in the management of projects by lifting methodologies and enforcing their use
throughout the agency (Hamp-lyons & Condon, 2000). Infarct, in order to prove the value of
portfolio management to the stakeholders, one has to demonstrate how the portfolio operations
create a good environment for the achievement of the company objectives. As a manager, one
needs to establish and leverage the processes, as well as lessons learned from the previous
projects. Again, the information captured in the previous repository is very vital because it is
needed in the improvement of the project operations. In order to improve the portfolio
management, the manager should ensure that there is an aspect of a single version of the truth in
and consistency in evaluating and enforcing future projects (Jardine, 2013).
3.0 Agency Strategies
When designing long tern portfolio, the agency needs to organize the reason for
transforming faster in technological inventions and usage designs. For instance, through
implementing right techniques and tools, our organisation is likely to maintain a competitive
edge. The management has to embrace effective software and applications. However, along with
this, the company has to include potential practices for achieving the strategic goals of our
company. Notably, technological developments are critical in improving the effectiveness of the

agency. Another move is establishing an elaborate strategy, for the purpose of the effectiveness
and success portfolio management it is important to lay a clear and realistic strategy. This
motivates the entire team in the management thereby promoting efficient work as a result of
better understanding of the goals and constraints involved in the projects. Thirdly, training for
the senior management is important in the management of the portfolio. It is very clear that by
improving the knowledge and understanding of the process of portfolio management, the
company can always thrive. Knowledge ensures that the company objectives are worked to in
proper ways. According to Forbes, 89% of successful companies have leaders who have good
knowledge in portfolio management and practices (Jardine, 2013).
4.0 Cross-examining procedure, Constructive Components and Value
The nature of the interview process is the most challenging part of any manager. As a
manager, one is supposed to ensure that the participants fully meet the desired qualities by virtual
of understanding and possessing the knowledge (Martin, et al., 1998). However, one has to stay
sharp since the participants can feign their competency. Moreover, both the participants and the
interviewee have conflicting approaches on what should be termed as a successful research and
interviewing process. In most cases, ensure that the participant's identity is withheld, and they are
contented with the interviewing process without interfering with their privacy.
The project has helped me to gain further knowledge in management of portfolios. Furthermore,
the current developments have learnt in management of portfolios are that technological
innovation should be incorporated in the management. Effective leadership, good knowledge
and understanding are significant elements in project management. However, one of the

challenges faced in this project is rebellion posed by some ignorant participants or simply lack of
commitment by top management. Again, there is the deployment in funding or low funding. For
example, strategy projects receive less funding compared to tactical projects.
5.0 Conclusion
Investment appraisal is one of the important areas for an association in business
performance and economic managing activities for net present value, payback period as well as
domestic rate of return concerning the resolution to manage to attain competitive edge. Although
finance evaluation approaches and investment assessment, the discussion regarding the working
capital strategy is simply to have diverse opinion since it is a vital element in assessing poor
outcome in the durable asset as well as liability organization resulting in insolvency to
recommend financial management policy as a separate entity from a firm.
