I dunno, the balanced scorecard could give the board a more holistic view. But I agree, we don't want to overwhelm them with too much information either.

Hmm, I'm not sure about the balanced scorecard. Isn't that a bit overkill for a portfolio review meeting? I think keeping it simple with the status updates is the way to go.

Haha, yeah, the 'traffic light' is a bit cliche, but it can be effective. I think a balanced scorecard approach, as in option C, could also be really helpful to show how the portfolio is contributing to the organization's strategy.

Alright, let's not get too bogged down in the details here. I think the key is to make sure we're evaluating if the portfolio benefits are aligned with the organizational strategy, as in option A. That should be the foundation for everything else we present.
