Benefit Realisation

Benefit realisation is a process that involves identifying, planning, managing, and evaluating the anticipated benefits of an initiative or project. It ensures that the project's outcomes are not only achieved but are also delivering the expected advantages to the organization. Simply put, benefit realisation is the art of translating project outcomes into tangible or intangible gains, aligning them to the strategic goals of the organization.

Why is Benefit Realisation Important?

The importance of benefit realisation lies in its ability to assess the success of strategic initiatives beyond their completion. It provides a clear measure of the value that initiatives deliver, ensuring they align with and contribute to the organization’s overall strategic goals. By focusing on the benefits, organizations can avoid the trap of deeming a project successful based on traditional metrics, like on-time and under-budget completion, and instead focus on its true value-add to the organization.
