As passenger volumes return to pre-pandemic levels, airports face mounting pressure to expand capacity, enhance the passenger experience, and meet sustainability goals – all while dealing with budget constraints and a backlog of deferred maintenance.

- Reducing plan creation time by 50%
- Improving plan execution by 10%

Receive the most benefit from your spend
Achieving the highest value from your plans means carrying out the right investments at the right time. This is no easy task for organizations with hundreds of candidate investments across business lines.
Copperleaf’s AI-powered optimization evaluates the vast number of possibilities and identifies the highest-value investment plan within minutes. Create any number of what-if scenarios to compare, contrast, and communicate the impact of each approach on cost, risk, value, and other strategic targets.

Spend less time planning and more time doing
Planning teams continue to be challenged by the sheer scale of their planning process. Significant time is regularly required to source, analyse, and manage data across the organization.
Copperleaf Portfolio saves you time by streamlining the process of developing, approving, and managing investments through their full lifecycle. It provides a centralized, enterprise-wide platform to easily capture all investment candidates, allowing them to be consistently scoped, costed, valued, and organized efficiently into portfolios. Planning teams can be confident that their decisions are based on complete and current information from across the organization.

Manage your risk exposure
Without a comprehensive and quantitative risk assessment, you cannot be sure of your organization’s resilience in the face of changing external factors, from cybersecurity breaches to extreme weather events.
Copperleaf Portfolio enables organizations to develop comprehensive plans that ensure ongoing performance and reliability. Any number of risk types can be specified and modeled making it easy to understand your overall risk exposure and how it will evolve over time.

Drive your strategy
To make progress on your strategic goals, you need a way to measure progress and compare approaches. Copperleaf Portfolio leverages the Copperleaf Value Framework to consistently assess the value of every investment and align decisions to the strategic priorities of your organization.
Portfolio quantifies how each investment contributes to the achievement of the organization’s strategic goals. Every investment can be compared based on its total value (including contributions to strategic objectives) so that difficult trade-offs can be made with confidence.
