Session | Benefits Management That Actually Works: The Link Between Strategy and Impact
Projects succeed or fail based on benefits delivered to the organization, yet benefit management is often treated as an afterthought. Research shows that organizations that focus on benefits management deliver far greater value, 38% more, but few do it well.
In this session, Stuart Easton explains why benefits management is the linchpin of strategy execution and how to build a benefits management system without creating a bureaucratic monster.
Learn how to:
- Bake benefits into prioritization so the right work gets funded
- Track outcomes without drowning in admin overhead
- Engage executives in a benefits-led conversation that wins budget and trust
- Apply lightweight governance methods that actually stick
You’ll leave with frameworks, sample templates, and facilitation tips, all designed to make benefits real, measurable, and central to every portfolio decision. You'll even get access to a free copy of Stuart’s new book on Benefits Management.
