"The opportunities and challenges of Portfolio Optimization"
Availability and access to data has been growing exponentially, which has increased the need for 360° optimization. Not only are there more opportunities to optimize horizontally (ancillary revenue generating sources across an asset or portfolio), but also vertically (all touchpoints of a customer relationship & journey). How can we evolve this opportunity to create truly connected, analytical & automated optimization across a portfolio?
