benefit realisation management

The reason why we do projects is to deliver an outcome, new infrastructure, new airport, power plant or building, new oil or gas facility, or even an IT system.

If we don’t deliver these then we have failed… right? What if we were to deliver these but at twice the cost, years late – do we fail then?

Simple answer is maybe!!

Delivering the benefits from a project means delivering the business/benefits case – on time, to budget to agreed quality.

Benefits drop away – as soon as we deliver late, different scope, to a lower level of quality or if the costs rise. HPS can help you bank the benefits using your Oracle Primavera software.

Benefit Realisation Management is part of the end to end process of Portfolio Management. Individual projects within a programme or a portofio will need to deliver their scope of outcomes, on time and to budget if we are to bank the benefits at the portfolio level.

In its simplest form benefits realisation covers:

  • setting the benefits strategy
  • defining a benefits plan
  • reviewing the benefit realisation
  • realising the benefit

Typically projects and sometimes even programmes don’t deliver benefit as these are delivered by the portfolio of change.

The aim of the project, programme proposal is not just to get investment approved, it’s defining a solution to identify, manage and monitor the benefit that the investment will deliver.

We have seen that Portfolio Management and Benefits Management are intrinsically linked, so it seems sensible that systems that manage these are also linked.

The diagram above shows that linkage. HPS have experience in designing and implementing portfolio and benefits management processes, as well as configuring the Oracle Primavera solutions to support the process.
