Benefit Realisation Management Seminars (BRM)

pearcemayfield in partnership with sigma, is now offering these highly successful one-day BRM seminars in Glasgow and Manchester .

Introduction

"That change project promised so much and delivered so little"

"There has been little commitment to working with the new system"

"The users didn't know what they wanted until they didn't get it" 

"More thought up front could have delivered so much more value" 

These are all symptoms of projects/programmes which are failing to deliver all of their potential business benefits.Actually realising benefits - rather than just using them to justify a project and then forgetting about them - is a key issue today. For the majority of private and public organisations, benefits are often identified and then forgotten.

This interactive seminar provides delegates with a common sense, practical methodology for Benefit Realisation Management. The methodology integrates closely with many existing approaches to programme and project management (e.g. MSP and PRINCE2), and will dramatically and demonstrably increase the realisation of benefits from investment in business change at all levels. It teaches:

• an up-to-date methodology applied by many leading organisations
• proven tools and techniques for realising value from change
• examples of how to secure commitment from all programme stakeholders
• how to manage successfully intangible benefits like customer satisfaction
• how to relate benefits from investments to business objectives
• how to monitor delivery of benefits.
