Focus on the prize, not just the buzzSuccess through realising benefits
Using benefits management to drive out positive returns from individual programmes and projects is increasingly important, but of equal importance is ensuring that beneficial outcomes drive key decisions made on a day-to-day basis by managers involved in selecting, prioritsing, managing and driving through business changes across an organisation.
Too often, benefits management is seen as yet another bolt-on management methodology to be run in parallel to the "mainstream" activities of delivering capabilities or improving outputs. If the poor record of achieving lasting value from investments in business change is to be addressed, benefits-led thinking needs to become "mainstream" and fully integrated with project / programme management, change management, and organisational performance management.
In short, benefits management needs simply to be synonymous with "good business management".
Cambiel Consulting is a leader in a "Benefits-Led" approach to Management. In other words, the adoption of a management mind-set which helps to ensure that stakeholders’ attention is concentrated on the achievement of Benefits from every investment.
Our expertise will provide the thread to help clients to consolidate a Benefits-Led culture throughout their organisation. Providing dividends, not only during a programme of change, but in the day to day processes of ‘Good Business Management’.
By sharing insight gained from real practical experience over many years we help clients to avoid the pitfall whereby individual elements of delivering change (e.g. delivery a new IT system) become objectives in themselves, and where the focus on Beneficial Outcomes is lost.
Our consultants are experts in the provision and adjustment of processes, tools and techniques which integrate fully the (often separate) disciplines of portfolio selection and management, project and programme management and CPM.
