BPUG Workshop – Benefits Realisation – Identify, Plan, Prioritise and Deliver – 8th September 2011 - Hosted by Lancaster University – Presented by Eddie Borup

Eddie Borup provided a practical session on benefits realisation, which included not only how to identify them, but to link the delivery of the project/programme to the achievement of the results. This workshop built upon our recent event at the Met Office on Prioritisation, and it took the delegates through some practical tools/techniques that can be used to start the programme/project on the right footings or provide a health check on existing work.

  1. From scoping to planning – how to ensure that your project can still deliver value.
  2. Prioritisation in a changing environment.
  3. Getting the right information to key decision makers.
