Seminar B
Maximising enduring change and benefit realisation from portfolio delivery
Effective delivery of a portfolio is often constrained by the ability of business units to accept and adapt to the rate of change generated by the projects. This seminar looks at how an organisation constructed and implemented a complex change portfolio. Based on a real case of complex change, it analyses why the approach created the necessary buy-in, and describes the use of a general method to link the chain of required outcomes to the realisation of benefits, and finally the impact this approach has on the planning of organisational change.
