Our benefit management service

Focusing programmes on benefits led realisation

   

Keeping track of benefits, reporting on progress and making sure the project delivers on those benefits - all part of the task of benefits management. The benefits manager is the person responsible for ensuring that focus is maintained on the overall goals of the work and for tracking progress. In a full benefits led programme this is a natural part of the day to day operation, but for those programmes where more project centric approaches have been taken, there is a need to explicitly manage the outcomes and activities.

Key benefits of the AlphaStep benefit managment solution:

  • Simple We deal with deliving a OGC compatible benefits tracking and management service, feeding forward project management actions to enhance value gained and avoid failures to hit key performance indicators. We can draw upon our selection of benefits tools to help support that effort.
  • Traceable Ensuring that actions and outcomes can be traced back to aims and critical success factors, and that tasks can be assessed in relation to those required benefits.
  • Improved Delivery Giving advance notice of where benefits may be missed and helping to ensure that focus is maintain on actions which enhance project performance.
  • Reporting Maintaining an up-to-date view for stakeholders and project members, as well as close out reporting of project performance.

Our Approach

At AlphaStep we focus on:

  1. Defining agreed aims, critical success factors and key performance indicators - linking these through your programme.
  2. Managing, tracking and optimising performance and the contribution to benefits throughout the project lifecycle.
  3. Facilitating and supporting increased benefit performance throughout the life of the project.
  4. Auditing of the outcome of the project and the cost effectiveness of the contribution to benefits.
  5. Reporting updates on benefits performance for key stakeholders and project members

Our benefits management support approach is to make it easy for you to management and support OGC requirements on benefits management, and to move beyond this to gain the extra benefits of a more active focus on benefits, but still within the terms of a project managment led approach.
