Introduction
The consolidated portfolio can be referred to as the combine information about the different
portfolio. The portfolio management helps to determine the different outcome which has been
gained by the different case studies. This report will give concise information about the different
learning outcomes which have been studied. There will be summarized information about the
gaining from the portfolios. In the case study, there will be a discussion about the system
thinking, relevancy of engineering performance and so on. The particular report will help to
understand the different context of system thinking. The information which will be discussed in
the report is relevant to the particular approaches and have been taken from the relevant journals
and activities.
