Anand's focus areas are corporate/IT portfolio management and innovation. As a practitioner of these within a large complex organization, he has had to live with his decisions and so his approach is inherently pragmatic and based on what works. He does not offer simple, ineffective platitudes to what is a complex problem. When undertaking a portfolio management effort, his focus is on two areas. Process - This entails instituting the discipline and systems that will enable better decision-making on a continuous basis. Behavior - Portfolio management is about change so there is a large element of education and influence that is required. Anand aims to help organizations change behaviors in concert with the new improved processes. He has developed innovative training methods including a portfolio management game/simulation which has been highly effective. He is a regular speaker at conferences including the CFO Executive Board, CFO Magazine, Gartner, Business Process ManagementSummit and has consulted with leading pharma, public sector, financial services and consumer packaged goods companies.Anand Sanwal has the following training expertises
