Realising benefits from projects and programmes – a fool’s errand? Followed by AGM
Venue: Leeds Metropolitan University, Room 221/2, Northern Terrace, off Woodhouse Lane (behind Queen Square), Leeds, LS2 8AJ.
Speaker: Stephen Jenner and Peter Glynne
Research shows that many organisations still struggle to demonstrate a return on their investments in change. Addressing this calls for a three-pronged approach – ensuring we are clear about the anticipated benefits from an investment; going beyond hurdle rates of return to capturing all forms of potential value; and active management to exceed the forecast The challenge starts with the business case – failing projects and programmes don’t have brilliant business cases, and the evidence shows that too often they contain ‘assumptions that masquerade as facts’. Steve will outline the research evidence, the possible explanations, and solutions which call for a radically different approach to the way organisations approach the realisation of benefits from their investments in change.
Fee payable: Members £10.00 / Non-members £15.00
