Name: Managing Benefits™ Practitioner Course Australia | Accredited Training
SKU: MB-P-AU-001

The Managing Benefits™ Practitioner course builds on the knowledge gained at Foundation level, developing your ability to apply the Managing Benefits™ framework to real-world projects, programmes and organisational change initiatives.

Designed for professionals responsible for delivering value from change, this advanced course focuses on the practical application of benefits management. You’ll learn how to tailor the framework to different organisational environments, plan and implement benefits management activities, monitor progress and ensure benefits are realised throughout the investment lifecycle.

Managing Benefits™ Practitioner helps organisations move beyond delivering projects on time and within budget by ensuring that initiatives achieve their intended strategic outcomes and measurable business benefits.

Whether you’re working in project management, programme management, PMO, business analysis, organisational change or portfolio management, this course provides practical skills that can be applied immediately within your organisation while preparing you for the official Managing Benefits™ Practitioner certification examination.

This Managing Benefits Practitioner course provides:

An overview of benefits management – what it is, the case for doing it, and some common misconceptions that can limit its effectiveness in practice.
Descriptions of the seven principles upon which successful approaches to benefits management are built, and examples of how they can be/have been applied in practice.
Guidance on how to apply benefits management at a portfolio level, as well as at an individual project or programme level.
Details of the five practices in the Benefits Management Cycle and examples of how they can be/have been applied in practice.
Advice on how to get started in implementing effective benefits management practices and sustain progress.

Managing Benefits has been carefully designed to complement existing Best Practice in portfolio, programme and project management such as PRINCE2®, MSP®, P3O® & MoP®. It consolidates existing guidance on benefits management into one place, while expanding on the specific practices and techniques aimed at optimising benefits realisation.

The target audience includes all those with a role in ensuring best use of funds by maximising the benefits realised 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.
