Agenda 2020 Technology Vision

2006 Portfolio Review

 

In April 2006, Agenda 2020 partnered with DOE's Industrial Technology Program (ITP) to conduct a joint peer review of ITP-funded projects for the forest products industry.

Agenda 2020 has adopted a new portfolio review process to incorporate the stage -gate process approved by the CEO Agenda 2020 Oversight Committee in 2005. The process features a stage-gate review of projects co-funded with key federal partners, such as the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. The recently completed forest products roadmap (download now) has been used as a reference to develop the criteria for this assessment. The results of the stage gate review are used by the CTO Committee to make an assessment technology transfer potential and communicate portfolio value to key stakeholders.
