Course overview

A growing portfolio does not necessarily deliver commercial value. Leaders need to understand which assets support revenue, market access, operational resilience or future partnerships, and which consume resources without a clear purpose. This course treats intellectual property as a business management issue. It examines how competitive positioning, product development and market entry influence protection choices, while recognising that legal strength and financial value require different forms of assessment.

Day 1 connects organisational strategy with the assets needed to execute it. Day 2 explores portfolio segmentation, investment priorities and the assumptions behind valuation approaches. Day 3 considers licensing, collaboration and commercial negotiation, including the tension between control and wider adoption. Day 4 examines due diligence in acquisitions and partnerships, ownership gaps and dependence on third-party rights. On Day 5, delegates develop governance arrangements and a board-level investment recommendation for a fictional business. The five days use management scenarios to practise explaining trade-offs, challenging unsupported forecasts and selecting indicators that reflect commercial outcomes rather than filing activity alone.
