So often when we think about benefits, we think about the ones that relate to money. ROI, NPV, IRR and so on are often what stakeholders care most about.

But not all stakeholders. Sometimes the impact on the business or the customer is more important, or at least equally important, as the financial return.

In this video I discuss 3 softer project benefits. Don’t get me wrong: you can talk about these in monetary terms if you want to, but sometimes looking at other measures is actually more powerful.

There is more information about using these benefits in project selection in this video.
