A focused industry discussion
This December 2023 webinar overview features a Food Dive panel with Kerry Hunnius of McCain Foods, Daniela Vonghia of Del Monte Foods, and Tanya Roberts of PMO Partners. The conversation examines the operational and organizational value of choosing a smaller, more purposeful set of initiatives.
From criteria to clear communication
The panel explores how strategic vision guides tradeoffs, why overoptimism and reluctance to decline work can weaken focus, and how leaders can communicate a credible decision to defer an initiative.
Weighted scoring and prioritization matrices can support the process, but leadership judgment and commitment remain necessary. The central question is whether the portfolio reflects the business’s priorities and its capacity to execute them. This entry summarizes the archived webinar discussion; availability of the original recording is separate from this editorial overview.
