Benefits Management 1 Hour Presentation

 

I have a one hour chapter presentation or webinar on benefits management.  I have also developed and delivered workshops and prestation for many organizations including ProjectWord and PMI.

Introduction to Benefits Realization

Are we getting what we need?

At the 2015   PMI Annual Leadership Institute Meeting, PMI CEO Mark Langley told the audience that his single most frequent request from the Business Community was to have Portfolio/Program/Project Managers utilize Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities in Benefits Realization. This session will introduce the concept of Benefits Realization and how it is an important subset of Program and Project Management.  It will cover a definition of Benefits, a discussion on the currency of the benefits, and conclude with an interactive definition of a benefit in a Benefit Realization Plan.  Designed for practitioners at all levels, this will cover an in-demand skill for PPPM professionals in the 2010’s and beyond.

Complimenting Benefits Workshops, this presentation is an opportunity for you to better understand the relationships between Benefits Realization and Corporate strategy and establish yourself a Project Manager “who can do it!”.  It is an energized, pragmatic presentation, with many real-life examples, humorous anecdotes, and proven methods to the map between project objectives and corporate strategy.  It also includes time  for Q&A where you will learn:

• What are  benefits and dis-benefits and what are some of the human bias that make it a difficult process for most organizations?
• The purpose of a Benefits Map and how defining the Project Benefits can transcend the project completion through a transition to operations.
• The role of the project manager and the project outcomes and how they interact with Benefits Realization.

A project must be designed to provide benefits back to organization.  Whether they are revenue centered benefits to reduce cost or maximize revenue, or cost effective benefits forced by external mandates, there is a reason the company is making the investment.  This presentation helps to bridge the gap between the strategy and implementation and how the project manager fits into the picture.
