    Stop Chasing Projects—Start Building Capital

    Is your innovation portfolio building serious value—or just draining resources? In this episode of Next Moves with AI, hosts Greg Galle and Daniel Buritica dive into one of the biggest blind spots in organizational innovation: the lack of portfolio thinking. Too many leaders are juggling disconnected initiatives without a clear view of alignment, risk balance, or capital impact. Greg and Daniel introduce the Next Portfolio Manager AI Assistant—a GPT-powered strategic coach designed to help you manage innovation intelligently. This isn’t about tracking tasks—it’s about thinking differently, balancing ambition with structure, and unlocking multidimensional value. Through real-world stories from NASA, Melbourne, and Siemens, you’ll discover how disciplined portfolio management transforms innovation from chaos into a serious capital engine. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why most organizations can’t answer how many innovation initiatives they’re actually running. How the U.S. Army’s $18B Future Combat Systems failure highlights the danger of unmanaged innovation. How NASA balanced moonshots and steady wins to deliver lasting impact—and how you can apply the same approach. How Melbourne and Siemens used portfolio thinking to unlock hidden value across social, natural, intellectual, and reputational capital. The five key prompts to test drive the Next Portfolio Manager AI Assistant and start rethinking your innovation strategy today.
