Synopsis
Benefits are frequently an elusive concept. There are several reasons why they often fail to materialise, some practical, some political and some simple negligence (whether deliberate or accidental). This doesn’t need to be the case and, indeed, shouldn’t be.
This talk will explore the common reasons for failings in benefits realisation along with some practical and expedient tools to help improve the situation. Starting from first principles, a number of fundamental questions will be addressed; what constitutes a benefit? How are they achieved in reality? How are they metricated? Why are they so frequently neglected? Who is responsible for them?
The audience should anticipate participation in the event and will leave with a straightforward view of benefits, how they are attained, what can go wrong and a basic toolkit to assist in achieving benefits in the future.
