Course Format Organisations are increasingly being asked to demonstrate the benefits associated with initiatives. Projects and programmes that have been managing benefits informally are being asked reactively to show how benefits have been managed. This course allows delegates who have or are about to deliver capability from projects or programmes to retrospectively identify and document how benefit have been managed and so to move from informal to structured benefits management.
The Demonstrating Benefits course is highly interactive and is based on a comprehensive case study. The course can also be run as a Benefits Workshop.
Trainer Profile All AFA trainers have undergone the rigorous approvals process administered by the APM Group on behalf of the Office of Government Commerce (OGC). They are practising programme and project managers with considerable experience in a wide range of industry sectors. The use of hybrid trainer-managers is of great benefit to delegates and ensures that illustration and anecdotes have up-to-date validity and that the training given, whilst being intellectually rigorous is also pragmatic.
