Managing Benefits™

Managing Benefits consolidates existing guidance on benefits management while teaching proven practices and techniques for maximizing financial and other returns on projects, programs and investments.

About the program

Drawing on a wide range of disciplines beyond project management, including behavioural finance, psychology, systems thinking and neuroscience, Managing Benefits enables project owners and managers to move from activity-led approaches to planning and delivery to benefits-led change.

The five-day course conforms to the latest syllabus issued by APMG International, the Managing Benefits accrediting body, and prepares learners to sit for certification at the Foundation and Practitioner levels.
