From Business Case to Benefits Realization: How to Make the Most of your Investments

Many companies find it challenging to bridge the gap between the Business Case and the Realization of Benefits. A recent survey indicates that over 70% of organizations worldwide have suffered at least one project failure in the past 12 months. While companies that made decisions after adopting the business case as a transparent and evidence-based mechanism managed to reduce the number of unsuccessful strategic initiatives and projects by 30%, resulting in a remarkable improvement in productivity, attracting and retaining talented employees, and improving customer satisfaction.

In this episode of “IN Practice Podcast”, we will understand how to bridge the gap between the business case and the realization of benefits, how business cases are developed, and why benefits realization is an important mechanism to help organizations get the expected return on investment.
