How to Do Project Benefits Management

Benefits Management follows a simple process. And I will describe the one in my new course, Project Benefits Management.
(See below for discount vouchers)
My Project Benefits Management process has seven steps. We take a look at each one in turn:
Step 1: Benefits Management Strategy
Step 2: Identify & Analyze Benefits
Step 3: Optimize Benefits Portfolio
Step 4: Benefits Realization Plan
Step 5: Realize & Track Benefits
Step 6: Review & Optimize Benefits
Step 7: Grow & Sustain Benefits
I have just launched a brand new course.

If you are yet to purchase the benefits management training course developed by Dr Mike, then you dont know what you are missing. Its great value and the knowledge shared in it is very deep. I have managed to transform our organisation's approach to benefits management, and to develop a much better value culture in the organization (no easy task) as a result of adopting many of the tools and techniques Dr Mike provides in his training course. There are many words that could be used to describe Dr Mike, but the best one is "king". He is an absolute project management king and long may his kingdom rule.

Thank you so much for your kind and generous comments.

Very Good and I agree - this should be a body of knowledge!

Of course, the PMI's PMBOK Guide has changed so much. The 7th edition came out with no 'Knowledge Areas' but a new focus on Value. So, I am happy with that.

Hi. Useful material, thanks. Do you have an view on how benefits management should be applied to research projects where the anticipated benefits are perhaps less clearly defined and harder to measure than for other types of projects such as construction projects and system implementations? Seems like there should still be some benefits tracking but perhaps not to the same level of detail? Keen to hear your thoughts please.

Aha, research. That's a whole other thing. When asked what the value of Electricity could possibly be, Michael Faraday answered "what's the use of a newborn baby?" I don't think a Benefits Management approach like this one is quite right for pure research. R&D maybe; product development yes. At best, you'd need to take some form of probabilistic approach. For me, the key is stage-gate processes that allow reviewers to assess the quality of the research (not necessarily the discoveries to date) to determine if the next stage is warranted. But the danger is that older, more experienced researchers often have a status quo bias and are less likely to see the benefits of some speculative research, or the likelihood of finding something that goes against a prevailing paradigm. So there is a need for some clever thinking. to make this work here. And it's a bit above my pay grade. However, the truth is, many national research funding bodies constantly get it wrong (in both directions). It's a wicked problem. And, by the way, I do understand the research context, having done academic science research (Physics PhD) and industrial science research for GEC in my time. Great question, GP, thank you. I just wish I had a better answer for you!
