Presentation: Project tricksters and frauds: why benefits realisation practices matter

Abstract: This presentation will focus on the application of contemporary benefits realisation practices to shape and structure investments, and why these have never been more important. While each of us engages with benefits in some form, many initiatives and organisations still struggle to realise investment expectations. Moving beyond simply managing benefits, new practices have evolved and are repositioning the relationship of benefits with project practices. More to the point, these new practices may just help avoid you being caught in the next program or project investment scandal.
