APMG-International Managing Benefits Foundation and Practitioner
Overview
This workshop, based on the APMG International’s Managing Benefits™, focuses on the management of benefits from change initiatives that are delivered via formalised project and programme management methods. Collectively these initiatives form the organisation’s change portfolio. It builds on existing best practices in portfolio, programme and project management.
It provides managers and practitioners from multiple disciplines, with generally applicable guidance encompassing benefits management principles, practices and techniques.
Benefits Management is a concept that many organisations today struggle with. Who should be accountable for benefits, including their realisation? Often benefits are seen as the domain of project management. It is not usually during the project that benefits are realised – generally it is after the project has been delivered, once the deliverables of that project have been embedded into the business and operational use that we hope to see benefits accruing.
Objectives
