Tracking the benefits that were promised in project business cases is recognised by most organisations as something they don’t do well. Whether it’s due to gaps in the rigour around pinning down benefits in the first place, particularly for multi year complex programmes that create significant benefit uncertainty, having a culture of benefit ownership, or ineffective benefit tracking, particularly when the bulk of benefits will be realised after project closure; there are a number of reasons why organisations struggle on this key activity, needed to validate the return on investment and learn lessons to create realistic future business cases. This white paper provides change leads and the Exec some key insights on why this is a critical activity to give you confidence in achieving strategic outcomes your change portfolio is driving. #transformationalchange #strategy #benefits

As an experienced people leader and Chartered Manager, I'm sharing the Chartered Management Institute's recent "Mission Possible" policy paper which emphasises the pivotal role effective people management plays in achieving organisational success in both public and private sector businesses. People management is not just about overseeing tasks; it's about creating an environment where individuals can thrive, innovate, and reach their fullest potential. Well-managed teams are more resilient, adaptable, and capable of navigating today's business complexities, and the report highlights that investing in people is essential for sustainable growth and organisational excellence. Moving forward, I hope more businesses recognise the critical role of people management as a strategic imperative, driving not only performance but also engagement and well-being across organisations 🙌

A fantastic article by our very own Scott Drayton discusses the importance of having the right culture and mindset for effective delivery. Many people reduce agile to numerous processes and tools, but it's the creation of the right culture and the encouragement of the right mindset that enable teams to deliver effectively. That's where the real change and impact lie with agile ways of working.
