Overview:
Programmes and projects are the normal vehicles for implementing investments and change initiatives. Programme and project management, with a strong focus on the delivery of capability (eg. new technology), are necessary but often insufficient to deliver the final business benefits promised in the business cases.
This one-day course aims to give participants a practical perspective on the concepts, approaches and techniques that can be used to plan and deliver business benefits that add value to their organisation. Benefits delivery cannot be made the singular responsibility of the Programme or Project Manager. This course explains why benefits management needs to be integrated with programme and project management, as well as introducing key roles and responsibilities that are vital to success, and providing techniques that can be used at multiple levels within an organisation.
Who Should Attend:
Those who are involved in, or are responsible for, any programmes or projects and would like to improve the delivery of measurable value to their organisation.
This course is designed for public and private sector staff who:
•Approve or sponsor the programmes and/or projects tasked with achieving strategic goals
•Manage programmes and/or projects that should allow benefits to be realised
•Perform business analysis to identify and measure benefits delivery.

•Understand the strategic role of benefits management and its value to organisations
•Understand the interrelationship between benefits management, project management and governance processes
•Understand the roles and responsibilities of key participants in the benefits management process
•Appreciate how benefits maps can be used to improve the preparation and execution of business cases
•Understand the keys steps to creating a benefits map and the subsequent analysis that can be performed
•Understand the principles of planning and controlling the unfolding of benefits over time using the Strategic Journey Mapping methodology (SJM)
Course Outline:
