Realise the full benefits potential from your change projects For most managers in steering committees of PMOs (Project Management Office) most projects are costly in both time and money, and they often only reach a fraction of the expected benefits. In Benefits Realisation: The Change-Driven Approach to Project Success, renowned benefits realisation expert, speaker, and consultant Rasmus Rytter introduces a new approach to change projects where benefits realisation defines the design of the project and how it’s led. Once the project’s benefits have been defined, the key question for the project to answer is: ‘How might we help our colleagues change their behaviour? Thus, identifying behavioural change as the key driver of benefit realisation. Step by step, the book guides you on how to approach both benefit realisation and behavioural change, as well as explain how it builds on the project and portfolio practices (or SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework)) you are already using. Benefits Realisation also offers: Elaborate real-life case studies and examples that show the application of the new approach to benefits realisation and change on different projects Easy to use posters, playbooks, and facilitation guides for the most important activities and workshops Effective strategies for using benefits realisation to minimise project cost Compelling possibilities for executives to make far better strategic prioritization decisions based on credible data for project benefits and the real cost of change Perfect for project managers, change managers, PMO professionals, and managers using agile frameworks, Benefits Realisation will also earn a place in the libraries of executives and other business leaders at all levels of your organisation.

Des fresques de l’Antiquité romaine aux pavages de Durer et Kepler, des mosaïques de l’art arabo-persan aux pavages de Penrose, l’art décoratif est illuminé de motifs géométriques foisonnants. Soumis à des régularités lancinantes ou à des symétries kaléidoscopiques, ils forment un trait d’union privilégié entre l’art et les mathématiques. S’adressant aux enseignants et étudiants en mathématiques ou informatique comme aux amateurs d’art, Géométrie des pavages propose différentes clés permettant de mieux comprendre la beauté cachée des formes, mais également de devenir les artisans constructeurs des pavages sur ordinateur. Il détaille les trois types de conception géométrique (surface plane, sphérique ou géométrie non euclidienne hyperbolique) et les concepts théoriques qui les fondent. La compréhension des mécanismes internes de la fabrication des pavages permet ainsi d’accéder aux programmes de réalisation sur ordinateur, donnant accès à des visualisations instantanées et à un grand nombre de variations possibles.

Goal setting is a powerful process for thinking about your ideal future, and for motivating yourself to realize this vision of the future, converting it to reality. Think about where you want to go in life. These are your lifetime goals. Once you know want to achieve, you can plan where to focus your efforts. You will quickly spot the distractions that will sidetrack you. Properly-set goals can be incredibly motivating, and as you get into the habit of setting and achieving goals, you will find your self-confidence building as well. It is important to remember that you goals will change over time. Feed lessons learnt back into your goal-setting programme. Adjust the goals regularly to reflect growth in your knowledge and experience. When some goals no longer hold your interest, consider letting them go. If you do not already set goals, consider doing so now. Once you make this technique a part of your life skills, you will wonder how you lived without it!

Selected by Today as a book "to ease kids’ anxiety about coronavirus.” We all need hope. Humans have an extraordinary capacity to battle through adversity, but only if they have something to cling onto: a belief or hope that maybe, one day, things will be better. This idea sparked The Great Realization. Sharing the truths we may find hard to tell but also celebrating the things—from simple acts of kindness and finding joy in everyday activities, to the creativity within us all—that have brought us together during lockdown, it gives us hope in this time of global crisis. Written for his younger brother and sister in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Tomos Roberts’s heartfelt poem is as timely as it is timeless. Its message of hope and resilience, of rebirth and renewal, has captured the hearts of children and adults all over the globe—and the glimpse it offers of a fairer, kinder, more sustainable world continues to inspire thousands every day. With Tomos Roberts’s heartfelt poem and beautiful illustrations by award-winning artist Nomoco, The Great Realization is a profound work, at once striking and reassuring, reminding readers young and old that in the face of adversity there are still dreams to be dreamt and kindnesses to be shared and hope. There is still hope. We now call it The Great Realization and, yes, since then there have been many. But that’s the story of how it started . . . and why hindsight’s 2020.

This book emphasizes the follies of major ICT programmes. It highlights how better management of benefits realisation is key to getting ICT investment back on track. ISBN 978-1-906638-26-9 "Jenner provides very credible guidance and methods on ICT project value realization in the public sector. This book is timely, practical and a very good primer on contemporary "best practice" thinking in both the public and for-profit sectors. The big question is: will public sector managers and executives have the "will" to put the book's prescriptions and methods into everyday practice with ICT Projects? The value of taxpayer services and contributions depends on their response." Donald Marchand, Professor of Strategy Execution and Information Management, IMD.

The first edition of Gerald Bradley's Benefit Realisation Management quickly established itself as the definitive, practical guide to using measures to track performance throughout the life of a project or programme; enabling organisations to eliminate wasted investment, realise more benefits and realise them earlier. The second edition takes you step-by-step through the benefits realisation process, explaining along the way, how to: * define your projects and programmes by mapping the benefits * produce a convincing and accurate business case * communicate the benefits and get all your stakeholders on board * agree the measures you will use to encourage the desired behaviours, to monitor progress and to assess the ultimate success of the project or programme * use the benefits realisation approach to understand and address the human aspects of the project, including resistance to change, training needs and new ways of working * integrate this approach into your organisation's culture and systems The second edition includes expanded guidance on benefits realisation for portfolio management and includes revisions to the original text along with additional case study examples. The text of the latest edition is now printed in four-colour which make the detailed and varied benefit maps throughout the text immediately more striking and comprehensible. The benefits realisation management methodology fits closely with existing programme and project management approaches such as MSP and Prince 2, making it appropriate for both public and private sector environments. If you are investing heavily in change management, IT infrastructure or project working, then this book is a must-read that will justify its price many times over.
