Description

Course Overview

In this new post-recession world we live in, accountability is more important than ever, and delivery and realisation of Benefits at the top of most senior executives list of priorities.

The reason organisations invest in change is to realise benefits, yet it is estimated that around two thirds of projects fail to realise those benefits, because the benefits are not being correctly forecasted, measured or managed to successful delivery.

The purpose of the Managing Benefits guidance and certification scheme is to provide managers and practitioners from multiple disciplines, working in a variety of organisations, with generally applicable guidance encompassing benefits management principles, practices and techniques.

You will have access to the Managing Benefits Foundation online training course for one year so you can study at your own pace. The Managing Benefits Foundation course will take around 10 hours to complete. Once you have completed the course you can test your knowledge on the Managing Benefits Foundation mock exam simulator.

The target audience includes all those with a role in ensuring best use of funds by maximizing the benefits realized from change initiatives. This multi-disciplinary group includes:

  • Change leaders (e.g. senior responsible owners & directors of change)
  • Change initiators (e.g. strategic planners and policy leads)
  • Change appraisers and evaluators (e.g. business case developers and project appraisers)
  • Change implementers/enablers (e.g. portfolio, programme & project managers)
  • Change support staff (e.g. portfolio, programme & project office staff).

Everyone involved in managing benefits, development of the Business Case, or indeed the Project will benefit from the tools and techniques described in the online Managing Benefits course, and can go on to take a recognised certification through the Foundation exam.

Although Managing Benefits would apply to any organisation undertaking change, it is particularly relevant to companies using PRINCE2® or MSP®, and builds on the Benefits Realisation within the project and programme lifecycle.

As an individual, Managing Benefits also builds on your existing qualifications of PRINCE2® or MSP® to better plan, forecast and realise improvements for your business. It consolidates existing guidance on benefits management into one place, while expanding on the specific practices and techniques aimed at optimising benefits realisation.

This Managing Benefits course offers learners:

– Online access to the accredited multimedia e-learning course for one whole year (approx. 8 hours of study time)
– Interactive quizzes and mock exam simulator to test knowledge ahead of the exam
– A flexible exam process – take online via a webcam or at a local test centre

Note:

This course does not include the official course manual.
