Finding Business Value and Return On Investment in Projects and Programmes

PDUs: 2
    

Introduction
In a competitive world, every organisational department must stand up and be counted. Internal service departments such as Human Resources, Information Technology, Quality, Learning & Development and Marketing etc. perform essential functions to the company, but what is the value of what they do? 

As experienced Project Managers, we tend to spend more time before the project is chartered working with the Sponsor, Customer and Executive Group to derive not only cost, scope and time but also the business benefit - why we are doing the project in the first place. As the PMI moves towards the concept of the Project Manager delivering business value in addition to just deliverables, we need new skills to measure and advise the impact and dollar value of a project outcome.

In this presentation we'll explain how companies are determining business benefits of their internal programmes and initiatives, how they calculate their Return On Investment (ROI), and how the most perceptive professionals are getting in first to join the growing wave of Certified ROI Practitioners. Several case studies will be discussed, including the presenter's own experience in measuring the ROI of corporate initiatives in the fields of human resources, learning and development and information technology.
