Institutional Innovations Support Project - 23 April 2009 - Paul Bailey Institutional Innovations Programme Benefits Realisation Activities

What is benefits realisation? A benefit as “ a measurable improvement resulting from an outcome ”. Benefits realisation – “ the delivery of high-level outcomes and requires a constant focus on intended benefits to ensure that the desired changes are achieved ” In the Institutional Innovations Programme - “ the validation and transfer to non-native institutional contexts, and building upon outputs developed by innovation projects in order to embed them in their intended (and other) communities ”

Benefits Realisation Plan Stage two (project fed) Feeding project outcomes (to realise benefits) into wide scale programmes of adoption/take-up by non-native institutions and stakeholder communities ; Focus on “institutional innovations” that can support wide scale adoption. Target start date by April 10, but will be looking for potential “large impacts” “Advanced” projects/themes or Stage one BR projects that could potentially form early programmes. Emerging methodology based on what has worked in the past.
