Earned Benefit

Seminar Topic:

The Benefit of Benefits Mapping – Ensuring Project and Program Success

Continuing on the theme of Romeo and Juliet chosen for the Synergy conference, we address Romeo’s plaintive question: ”What’s in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” In our environment, this is not true: we deal with a number of names: project, program, portfolio and the smell of success for each one is different. One reason projects are considered to fail is that they are judged like programs. The reason most programs fail is that they are run as projects.

Too many project justifications are based on the “hype” element of hypothesis. What is required instead is a clear, measurable strategic business objective and a complete, verifiable, quantified path linking this strategic end-point to the project components required to achieve it. This is the role of the Benefits Map: it is the basis for the key technique that is missing from current program management and benefits realization literature – Earned Benefit Management.

This session guides you through building a typical Benefits Map and illustrates how to apply the Earned Benefit technique to plan and track from project execution right through to benefits realization in a consistent and objective manner.

 

Participants will receive a copy of Kik’s book Earned Benefit Program Management
