Project Results with Resources: Delivering Value & ROI
February 23 @ 9:30 am - 5:00 pm
Can you properly and express the true return on investment your project is going to deliver?
The more we climb the rungs of our company ladder the more we encounter senior stakeholders who are interested in only one thing – money. To gain their attention we need to understand the value that our projects are delivering. Plus when it comes to trade-offs and scope changes, how can we recommend the best path forward?
Course Synopsis
More experienced project managers are expected to understand the business value of their projects; not merely the deliverables they are tasked to produce. This course discusses methodologies that may be adopted to propose and test the ROI of project outcomes.
With this training, you will be able to convey to senior stakeholders and clients, board members, C-level executives and key decision makers the true value of the projects, programmes and initiatives you run.
We focus on simple, easy to understand methods, so you don’t need a financial background to accurately and logically calculate the ROI of your activities and report your results credibly, and the course is exercise-driven so you can experience the skills you’ll need to use the methodology effectively.
By the end of this introductory course, you will be able to:-
- Understand the fundamentals of calculating ROI
- Appreciate the importance of ROI and be able to explain it to other senior management and executives;
- See how an effective ROI Impact Study is conducted, and how to initiate and support one;
- View your projects, programmes and initiatives from an ROI perspective, and
- Make the case for measuring ROI in non-capitalised investments.
