About this model

A structured approach to ensure that the benefits of a change initiative are realized and measured against the original objectives.

Originator not stated.

How to read it

  • Focus on the benefits listed and their associated metrics.
  • Check if the actions align with the expected outcomes.

What this does

Helps organizations identify, plan, track, and realize the benefits of a change initiative, ensuring that the expected value is achieved and sustained over time.

When to use it

Use it when initiating a change program to ensure that the anticipated benefits are clearly defined and tracked throughout the project lifecycle.

Not when: Do not use it when the benefits are unclear or when the project scope is not well defined, as this may lead to misalignment and ineffective tracking.

What happens next

Develop a detailed implementation plan based on the identified benefits and associated actions.
