Benefits Management

The AFA Approach


Why is there a need for Benefits Management?
Change initiatives are all founded upon an expectation of beneficial outcomes. Projects and programmes promise much, but the deliverables can be difficult to digest and all too often they fail to enable organisations to achieve the benefits they anticipated.


Discovering this at the conclusion of such initiatives can be a rude awakening. Indeed, in the past, assessments as to whether projects and programmes have realised their expected benefits have only been made once those projects and programmes are complete. Now, though, it is recognised that the discipline of Benefits Management must pervade every part of a change initiative, from start to finish, thus ensuring a proactive focus upon benefit delivery.
