Many organisations can not credibly measure realised (or unrealised) value from their benefits – yet they persist with the same processes !


Boards, Executive and management are constantly frustrated at the lack of results from projects - how long it takes to do anything, that initiatives seem to ‘vapourise’, multiple initiatives claim the same credit, and that goals at the beginning of the project are not realised at the end despite considerable effort and expense.

Attempts to address these problems are usually not correctly focussed, and therefore do not have the effect promised. For example:

  • Project management skills are enhanced but projects still fail to deliver the expected benefits; and/or
  • The business case process is made more rigorous, and the financial value of the benefits is deducted from subsequent budgets, yet the outcomes are not achieved and the value not (truly) realised.

Einstein reportedly once said “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. He also said “The significant problems we have can not be solved with the same level of thinking with which we created them”.

There has to be a better way. We now provide it – the new Project Delivery ScienceTM

If conventional approaches alone were working, why are the results still so bad ?

Time to complement existing approaches !

An end state whose realisation can be simply measured, by anyone WITH A TRUE/FALSE QUESTION. This clarity ensures no confusion as to achievement. Our Desired Business Outcomes are the primary measure of business success, and Project Outcomes the primary measure of a (change) project’s success.
An organisational attribute consisting of necessary people (with the requisite competencies), plus management (direction, structures, measures, controls, etc), plus organisational infrastructure (policies, processes, systems, etc).
The beneficial result of the delivery of one or more outcomes. All benefits are measurable and verifiable, but only some are quantifiable.
Narrowly, is the quantifiable value of a benefit (usually in financial terms). Broadly, a project’s inclusive statement for outcomes, benefits and (quantified) value, plus the projects strategic contribution.
An individual attribute of consisting of knowledge, training, experience, aptitude and attitude – possession of the requisite skills and how to apply them effectively.
