“Benefits realisation” brings structure, clarity and accountability to the expected beneficial outcomes of business change. As a topic/skill, it is not yet mature in many organisations.
We have the UK’s longest-running course (2003) and prove every month that it does not take 3/5 days to cover this topic. The feedback below shows that in one day it is totally possible to deliver a course that provides real practical help. Including ideas that you will be able to put to immediate use.
We deliver the course every month in all sectors. Public, not-for-profit and commercial sectors.
Using your projects as the basis of the whole course
We do this within all of the practical sessions. This achieves the best possible learning outcome.
What if you use Agile?
This whole course fits perfectly with Agile approaches.
Course Objectives
Benefits realisation is a hugely valuable process. It could easily be argued it is the most important element of business change. However, it is not mature, or well understood in many organisations, even today.
This course will demonstrate:
- how to link pipeline planning in Portfolios to strategy via benefits;
- why far too many Business Cases don’t contain real benefits (and many projects fail to deliver them);
- how to communicate project benefits in a crystal clear manner via a one-page business case;
- how to select the right measures.
- how to develop a benefits realisation framework in your organisation.
The course is highly practical and we encourage delegates to bring extracts from business cases from their organisation to use in all practical exercises and workshops.
Course Duration
1 day
Delivery Style
The course is interactive and highly practical using workshops throughout to build the key elements of a business case and a benefits realisation plan, based on a project from your own business.
