Both recalibration and expanded competencies needed
• Shift in emphasis
• From measurement /tracking/reporting to
driving business change
• Recalibrate maturity of business case
practices
• Highlight the full lifecycle of benefits
management
• Planning to Execution to Delivery /
Harvesting
• Move beyond financial valuation to
business value creation
• Business value requires deployment of both
tangible and intangible assets
• Research wider and more current
benefits realization resources
• Information Paradox. Cranfield Univ,
Gartner, Val IT, Fujitsu views
• Much recent work – OGC, APM, NHS,
Canadian & Australian govts, Durham Univ
• The importance of developing an
outcomes orientation
• Benefits are outcomes
• Makes benefits (aligned to business goals)
the drivers of business change
• Business change central to the
achievement of benefits
• Benefits come from change, not technology
• Enables benefits-led PPM
• Centrality of benefits mapping
• Drives business case and outcomes
measurement
• Drives priorities, identifies dependencies
• Shows the causal relationship between IT
initiative, the capability it delivers, the business
change required to deliver desired outcomes
and the realization of business benefits aligned
to strategic objectives
• Metrics typically emerge from the benefits
• Expand CBB practices
Adjustments Added dimensions

• Post-Implementation Review is only the
beginning of Harvesting
Decision Making
Business Change
• Explicitly raise the importance of outcome
mapping / modelling capability
• Business change capabilities are central to
an organisation’s ability to deliver benefits
• Emphasis on need to develop an outcomes
orientation and a benefits focus
• Recalibrate the role of the business case;
it’s of lower order than its current
prominence
• Business case as lower maturity; value
case in higher maturity categories

The IT environment is shifting in ways that couldn’t have been
foreseen when the IT-CMF was originally architected
1. Organizations are taking an increasingly business-centric view of IT, with
the focus shifting from the “T” to the “I”
• Technology continues to contribute significantly to business value, but not in
and of itself – value comes from how the business uses technology
• The major contributor to business value from technology has become the
organizational change that technology both shapes and enables – the majority
of that change is in the business domain
2. Technology itself, both in terms of its capabilities, and how those
capabilities are delivered and used, is also changing at an ever-increasing
rate
 All this is giving rise to a fundamental rethinking of how IT is governed
and managed
6
IT-CMF itself needs to evolve to meet these new realities

Principles to guide development of BAR
1. Value mindset/culture - organizations will move beyond a culture of delivery to one
of value
2. Benefits come from change - benefits do not come from technology by itself, but
rather from the change that technology both shapes and enables
3. Benefits must be outcome related - benefits will be clearly stated, in terms of the
expected outcomes (or their contribution to those outcomes) and measurable
4. Metrics - relevant, appropriate and consistent metrics, will be defined and
monitored for benefits/outcomes, and for the change initiatives contributing to
them
5. Full Life Cycle - benefits will be actively managed through the full life cycle of an
investment decision
6. Accountability - there will be clear accountability for the realisation of benefits
7. One size does not fit all - Different categories of investments , assets, and
organizational contexts require different approaches (in terms of scalability and
adaptation)
8. Continuous learning & improvement - the use of BAR practices will be continually
monitored and improved based on lessons learned, and the current state of practice

BAR Capability Building Blocks - ORIGINAL
Category
Capability Building
Block
Description
BV Language
Adoption of business benefits metrics (BBMs) as common Business Value language
between business and IT to consistently capture business benefit. This is important for
alignment of objectives.
BAR Templates &
Guidance
Use of standard templates to ensure consistent and ‘objective’ benefits evaluation and
measurement. This is important for comparability of investments in prioritization
decisions and organization-wide consistent value reporting.
Benefits
Assessment
Capability to support benefits forecasts with reliable business value data. Includes a
capability for recalculation of intangibles, benefit risks and option values.
Benefits
Realization
Capability to identify benefits dependencies and assign clear accountabilities for value
realization, measurement and reporting.
BV Tracking and
Reporting
Capability to measure benefits over lifecycle of investment, review results and adjust if
required within dynamics of business environment.
Adoption and
Impact
Degree to which organization is adopting standard BAR process and uses BAR data in
other processes, e.g. budgeting and portfolio management
Decision Making
Degree to which business value results are used in the investment decision making. At
high maturity, investment decisions are based on solid business cases.

Stage 4:
Establishing a common language, measurement and
valuation approach for stakeholders to express the
potential, and document the actual business value and
benefits realized from IT enabled investments.
Revised:
Embedding benefits management practices throughout
the full life cycle of an investment decision, including
managing the cultural and behavioural change that
technology both shapes and enables, such that benefits
are actively managed, and value is created and sustained
both from investments in IT-enabled change, and from
ongoing operation of the resulting assets.
• Organizational target
• Usually a step in company strategy
• Overriding business value gains
• Created to support business
objectives

Reconfiguring BAR suggests a constructive evolution of the
IT-CMF to increase its focus on Business Value
• Pervasiveness of benefits activities and the influence of BAR across the IT-
CMF
• BAR not just a key Critical Capability (CC)
• Benefits & Value are emerging as a culture, a mind-set and a presence in several
other CCs
• All best reflected in a broader, business-centric view of BAR – a “Meta CC”
(initially referred to as “Big BAR” or E-BAR)
• Other “Meta CCs” also likely to emerge (e.g. Relationship Management,
Information, Governance)
• Evolving relationship between IT and Business requires new lenses through
which to view IT’s role in Value Innovation

E-BAR is a “leading indicator” for the

1
Commonpurpose
To what extent does the leadership create an
environment where everyone understands the
purpose, direction and values of the
organization, as well as the purpose of
investments in IT-enabled change, and their
part in that change?
Limited awareness with little formal
communication
Little formal communication, achieving
limited awareness with a focus on local
priorities, expressed in local, specialised
terminology and language BF
Some understanding based largely on incomplete one-way
communication (talking a “good story”)
Wider understanding based on engagement at
management levels
Wider understanding based on engagement
at management levels, with IT and business
managers using common language to
express to each other their understanding of
the overall mission, values and beliefs
Broad understanding and growing commitment
based on inclusive and on-going engagement
with all staff at all levels, within both IT and
Business communities
Internalization and commitment (working as “one”)
based on on-going reinforcement (“walking the talk”)
2
ValueCulture
To what extent has the organization evolved
from focusing on technology to creating and
sustaining value from the business change
that technology both shapes and enables?
Focus is on the technology as a cost to be
minimized.
Awareness that technology shapes and enables business change,
which contributes business value.
Understanding of the role of effective
enterprise governance in managing a portfolio
of investments in business change such that
their expected contribution to business value
is optimized.
Full and visible commitment to the governance
discipline required to ensure that investments
in business change contribute to business
value, including alignment of the incentive
system.
Continual reinforcement of a corporate culture of
business value.
3
FullLifeCycle
To what extent are benefits management
capabilities embedded throughout the full life
cycle of an investment from initial planning to
asset retirement?
Focus is on technology delivery - no formal
benefits management processes are applied
Benefits planning capabilities are applied to some investments,
but there is a lack of consistency
Benefits planning and delivery capabilities are
consistently applied to all investments
Benefits planning, delivery and harvesting
capabilities are embedded throughout the full
life cycle of an investment decision for all
investments
Business cases are reviewed, updated and re-evaluated
throughout the full life cycle of a investment
4
BusinessCase
(Role)
To what extent, and how effectively are
business cases used to create and sustain
business value?
No formal process exists to justify investment
using business cases
Business cases are ad hoc, largely focused on cost, and used on
a project-by-project basis to secure funding
Business cases are required for all major
investments and have some linkage to
business value
Business cases are required for all
investments and include benefits realization
plans, but are not updated after approval
Business cases are reviewed, updated and re-evaluated
throughout the full life cycle of a investment
5
Rolesandresponsibilities
How clearly defined are the accountabilities
related to the realization of value from IT-
enabled investments?
The IT function is accountable for the delivery
of IT capabilities and maintaining continuity
of IT services. No accountability is established
for benefits realization
The IT function is accountable for delivering IT capabilities and
services as agreed with the business. Some individuals take
responsibility for benefits realization without commitment from
the business
IT and the business share accountability for
implementing IT-enabled change. There is
increasing focus on benefits but individual
roles and responsibilities are unclear
Accountabilities for optimizing benefits from
individual investments are clearly assigned,
accepted and monitored
Accountability for maximizing the value from the
investment portfolio is clearly assigned, accepted and
monitored
6
RelevantMetrics
To what extent are metrics related to the
realization of value from IT-enabled
investments clearly defined and broadly used
?
Some simple financial metrics exist and are
applied on an individual basis. No consistent
or effective tracking of benefits.
More sophisticated financial metrics exist, but are not applied
consistently. No consistent or effective tracking of benefits.
Benefits are tracked for all individual
investments using basic measures of
alignment, financial value and risk
Robust “lead” and “lag” metrics of alignment,
financial and non-financial value and risk are
established at the individual investment and
portfolio level
Robust metrics of alignment, financial and non-financial
value and risk are established, reviewed and adjusted
across the full life cycle of individual investments, and
for all portfolios

BenefitsPlanning
To what extent are processes established that
plan the performance of both individual
programs and the overall portfolio to optimize
benefits and maximize value ?
No formal planning process exists for IT-
enabled change initiatives; if used, business
cases are ad hoc and inconsistent
Acknowledgment of the need to plan for major IT-enabled
business investments & IT services; business cases are required
for major investments, but focus is less on value and more on
technology delivery cost, ignoring both the lifetime operational
and support costs, and the costs of business change required to
meanifully use the technology to deliver benefits.
Where present the discussion on value is limited to
unsubstantiated financial benefits, and/or non-financial
benefits without specifying their contribution to value.
Approval confined to narrow financial criteria
Processes are defined and documented;
processes explicitly account for business
changes required to achieve targeted business
benefits; business cases are required for all
investments and include benefits realization
plans, benefits maps, with benefits and risk
registers; IT & business share accountability
for benefits realization, but roles &
responsibilities are unclear
Processes are standardized with enterprise
planning systems. business cases are
reviewed, updated and re-evaluated
throughout the life of IT-enabled change
initiatives, and the appropriate decisions are
made to continue, change or cancel
Processes continually re-evaluate the performance of
both individual programs and the overall portfolio to
optimize benefits and maximize value
8
BenefitsEnablement
To what extent are all the necessary business
and technology capabilities required to enable
benefits identified and delivered ?
Focus is on deliverables – on time, to budget,
to specification - rather than benefits
Focus is evolving to include benefits but is predominantly on end-
outcomes
Projects framed as benefits-driven; benefits
plan incorporated into project plan; team
design takes benefits delivery ownership/roles
(IT & Business) into consideration;
intermediate outcomes on benefits maps are
tracked and controlled
Scope (management) of project delivery is on
achievement of benefits and outcomes rather
than technology delivery; benefits
management, monitoring and communicating
performance, and taking appropriate remedial
action
The IT and business commmunity collaborate to ensure
the BAR Plan execution and the delivery of final benefits
from investments.
9
Benefits
Harvesting
To what extent is there active oversight and
management of benefits delivery over the
operational life, in the context of both
individual projects and the overall portfolio?
Managing of benefits harvesting is ad hoc or
non-existent
Post-implementation reviews takes place but benefits are
overlooked
Benefits harvesting stage gates are enacted
and reviewed throughout the life cycle;
harvesting teams established to monitor and
drive harvesting ; benefits targets baked into
budgets;
Benefits targets integrated into overall
organizational performance
Oversight of benefits delivery is done in the context of
the overall portfolio
10
BehaviouralChange
To what extent is the behavioural change
required to ensure full benefits realization
understood, managed and incentivised?
No formal Benefits plan, or limited clarity
about the desired outc
Benefits Plan describes the process(without a link to behaviour)
change needed to achieve the outcome. Benefits ownership is
vaguely defined or unclear, with no individual ownership or
accountability defined at a collective level at best without formal
commitment to deliver
Benefits Plans are explicitly linked to required
behavioural change on the part of individual
owners and their delegates. However, formal
tracking of behaviour change (leading to
benefits realisation) is not undertaken, and
supporting measures such as education and
skills training are not in place.
Benefits Ownership is formally accepted,

Suitable education & skills training
programmes in place. Benefits status is
tracked and correlated with measurement of
expected behavioural change
Behavioural Change is formally measured and analysed,
and sustained by regularly improving/refreshing
supporting processes and incentivising measures.
Enterprise Value (as a mindset and as an aggregate of
planned & actual benefits in the portfolio) is correlated
with observed levels of organisational behaviour
change. Both are benchmarked externally as part of an
overall continuous improvement policy.
11
StakeholderEngagement
To what extent does the organization identify
relevant stakeholders, understand their role in
the succesful delivery of business benefits,
and actively engage with them to ensure that
success?
The Project/Programme plan contains a
partial list, if any of relevant stakeholders,
without specific reference to their roles in
Benefits Realisation, the impact of any
changes on them, or the actions required to
engage them
The list of stakeholders has been analysed and correlated to the
planned benefits realisation activity. Stakeholder impact
analysis has been carried out at a high level, if at all . No
Engagement Strategy has been drawn up in the context of Benefits
Realisation
Stakeholder Engagement is a recognisable
workstream in the Project/Benefits Plan.
Outline engagement plans are in place, but
these are not formally reviewed at Governance
level.
A detailed Stakeholder Engagement Plan is
formally adopted and included in the Value
Governance framework. For each Stakeholder
or Group, It includes impact analysis, required
response (RACI-based) and a customised
engagement strategy to ensure that all
stakeholders are engaged to respond in the
required manner
Stakeholder Engagement is a routine element of all
Benefits plans. In addition to having formal, detailed
analyses of impacts of change on stakeholders and the
associated engagement plans, programme change
agents and their managers are trained to understand
how people respond to change (i.e. at an emotional
level), how best to address Resistance to Change
12
Communication
To what extent is communication managed for
the realisation, management and governance
of business benefits?
Communication limited to standard Project
Management and Oversight reporting. No
recognition of the need to address the People
Aspects of Change
General Vision for the Programme and its business benefits is
broadcast at programme launch. Focuses on goals, tasks,
targets and deadlines, but not on how individual behaviour
change is linked to specific benefits realisation
There is a Communications plan with
interventions customised (in terms of medium,
format, content and timing) for target
stakeholders.
The Communications Plan is explicitly tied
into the Benefits Plan (and its individual
benefits). The Communications Plan is two-
way, incorporating individual feedback and
general reporting to allow it to be monitored,
reviewed and escalated at Governance levels.
Communication is considered a critical part of the
Realisation, Management and Governance of Business
Benefits. It is recognised and fully supported as a
critical skill of accredited change managers for all forms
of leadership interactions, ranging from Information,
Education and Participation to Negotiation and
Enforcement.
13
BenefitsReview
Is benefits thinking embedded into the broader
investment decision making and project
success assessed based on the benefits and
change achieved?
No attempt is made to ensure a benefits
mindset when considering investments
Benefits are reviewed in the cointext of determining if the
proposed change has been achieved/not achieved
Lessons learned reviews are facilitated with a
focus on benefits
Architectural reviews are completed to
determine potential benefits
There are formal benefits-driven portfolio
appraisal reviews
Identify additional benefits
Iterative Benefits reviews occur across the investment
lifecycle.
14
Practiceevolution,
innovationandsharing
How are Learning and innovation practices
promoted and shared in the organization ?
Any sharing, innovation or evolution of
specific benefit practices happens in an ad
hoc manner
Sharing innovation or evolution of specific benefits practices are
established but are largely informal and confined to IT
Some education and training is available
A clear & comprehensive lifecycle framework
is consistently used by both IT & the business
and supported by comprehensive
education/training programmes and relevant
specialists & tools enabling adoption and
development of practices
There is a leadership focus on championing of
learning, sharing and innovation in the
evolution of benefits practice for both
individuals and teams
Learning and innovation are formally embedded in the
use and onward development of all benefits practices

  • 3. © Innovation Value Institute 2013 Both recalibration and expanded competencies needed • Shift in emphasis • From measurement /tracking/reporting to driving business change • Recalibrate maturity of business case practices • Highlight the full lifecycle of benefits management • Planning to Execution to Delivery / Harvesting • Move beyond financial valuation to business value creation • Business value requires deployment of both tangible and intangible assets • Research wider and more current benefits realization resources • Information Paradox. Cranfield Univ, Gartner, Val IT, Fujitsu views • Much recent work – OGC, APM, NHS, Canadian & Australian govts, Durham Univ • The importance of developing an outcomes orientation • Benefits are outcomes • Makes benefits (aligned to business goals) the drivers of business change • Business change central to the achievement of benefits • Benefits come from change, not technology • Enables benefits-led PPM • Centrality of benefits mapping • Drives business case and outcomes measurement • Drives priorities, identifies dependencies • Shows the causal relationship between IT initiative, the capability it delivers, the business change required to deliver desired outcomes and the realization of business benefits aligned to strategic objectives • Metrics typically emerge from the benefits • Expand CBB practices Adjustments Added dimensions 3

  • 5. © Innovation Value Institute 2013 End to end nature of BAR life cycle • Goes well beyond both project and systems development life cycles - from concept to retirement Specify Critical Business Goals Qualify Opportunity Initial Business Case Vendor Qualification & Selection Program Initiation Scope Definition Program Execution Go-Live & Stabilisation Pre-Project Gateway Review 1 Implementation Gateway Review 2 Gateway Review 3 Gateway Review 5 Post Production Support Gateway Review 4 Post-Project Benefits-led Scope Control Change & Benefits Monitoring Business-level Project Governance Benefits / Value Management Project / Program Management Responsibilities: Benefits / Outcomes Map & Benefits Plan Benefits Harvesting Benefits Reconciliation Source: Based on Val-IT case study 5
  • 6. © Innovation Value Institute 2013 The IT environment is shifting in ways that couldn’t have been foreseen when the IT-CMF was originally architected 1. Organizations are taking an increasingly business-centric view of IT, with the focus shifting from the “T” to the “I” • Technology continues to contribute significantly to business value, but not in and of itself – value comes from how the business uses technology • The major contributor to business value from technology has become the organizational change that technology both shapes and enables – the majority of that change is in the business domain 2. Technology itself, both in terms of its capabilities, and how those capabilities are delivered and used, is also changing at an ever-increasing rate  All this is giving rise to a fundamental rethinking of how IT is governed and managed 6 IT-CMF itself needs to evolve to meet these new realities

  • 16. © Innovation Value Institute 2013 Principles to guide development of BAR 1. Value mindset/culture - organizations will move beyond a culture of delivery to one of value 2. Benefits come from change - benefits do not come from technology by itself, but rather from the change that technology both shapes and enables 3. Benefits must be outcome related - benefits will be clearly stated, in terms of the expected outcomes (or their contribution to those outcomes) and measurable 4. Metrics - relevant, appropriate and consistent metrics, will be defined and monitored for benefits/outcomes, and for the change initiatives contributing to them 5. Full Life Cycle - benefits will be actively managed through the full life cycle of an investment decision 6. Accountability - there will be clear accountability for the realisation of benefits 7. One size does not fit all - Different categories of investments , assets, and organizational contexts require different approaches (in terms of scalability and adaptation) 8. Continuous learning & improvement - the use of BAR practices will be continually monitored and improved based on lessons learned, and the current state of practice 10 DRAFT – For Discussion Only

This is important for alignment of objectives. BAR Templates & Guidance Use of standard templates to ensure consistent and ‘objective’ benefits evaluation and measurement. This is important for comparability of investments in prioritization decisions and organization-wide consistent value reporting. Benefits Assessment Capability to support benefits forecasts with reliable business value data. Includes a capability for recalculation of intangibles, benefit risks and option values. Benefits Realization Capability to identify benefits dependencies and assign clear accountabilities for value realization, measurement and reporting. BV Tracking and Reporting Capability to measure benefits over lifecycle of investment, review results and adjust if required within dynamics of business environment. Adoption and Impact Degree to which organization is adopting standard BAR process and uses BAR data in other processes, e.g. budgeting and portfolio management Decision Making Degree to which business value results are used in the investment decision making.

Benefits Plans are explicitly linked to required behavioural change on the part of individual owners and their delegates. However, formal tracking of behaviour change (leading to benefits realisation) is not undertaken, and supporting measures such as education and skills training are not in place. • L4. Benefits Ownership is formally accepted, detailed behavioural changes formally delegated where appropriate, and linked to personal performance objectives and reviews. Suitable education & skills training programmes in place. Benefits status is tracked and correlated with measurement of expected behavioural change • L5. Behavioural Change is formally measured and analysed, and sustained by regularly improving/refreshing supporting processes and incentivising measures. Enterprise Value (as a mindset and as an aggregate of planned & actual benefits in the portfolio) is correlated with observed levels of organisational behaviour change. Both are benchmarked externally as part of an overall continuous improvement policy. • L1. The Project/Programme plan contains a partial list, if any of relevant stakeholders, without specific reference to their roles in Benefits Realisation, the impact of any changes on them, or the actions required to engage them • L2 The list of stakeholders has been analysed and correlated to the planned benefits realisation activity. Stakeholder impact analysis has been carried out at a high level, if at all . No Engagement Strategy has been drawn up in the context of Benefits Realisation • L3. Stakeholder Engagement is a recognisable workstream in the Project/Benefits Plan. Outline engagement plans are in place, but these are not formally reviewed at Governance level. • L4 A detailed Stakeholder Engagement Plan is formally adopted and included in the Value Governance framework. For each Stakeholder or Group, It includes impact analysis, required response (RACI-based) and a customised engagement strategy to ensure that all stakeholders are engaged to respond in the required manner • L5. Stakeholder Engagement is a routine element of all Benefits plans.

  • 39. © Innovation Value Institute 2013 39 Q # CBB Category CBB Question 1 2 3 4 5 1 Commonpurpose To what extent does the leadership create an environment where everyone understands the purpose, direction and values of the organization, as well as the purpose of investments in IT-enabled change, and their part in that change? Limited awareness with little formal communication Little formal communication, achieving limited awareness with a focus on local priorities, expressed in local, specialised terminology and language BF Some understanding based largely on incomplete one-way communication (talking a “good story”) Wider understanding based on engagement at management levels Wider understanding based on engagement at management levels, with IT and business managers using common language to express to each other their understanding of the overall mission, values and beliefs Broad understanding and growing commitment based on inclusive and on-going engagement with all staff at all levels, within both IT and Business communities Internalization and commitment (working as “one”) based on on-going reinforcement (“walking the talk”) 2 ValueCulture To what extent has the organization evolved from focusing on technology to creating and sustaining value from the business change that technology both shapes and enables? Focus is on the technology as a cost to be minimized. Awareness that technology shapes and enables business change, which contributes business value. Understanding of the role of effective enterprise governance in managing a portfolio of investments in business change such that their expected contribution to business value is optimized. Full and visible commitment to the governance discipline required to ensure that investments in business change contribute to business value, including alignment of the incentive system. Continual reinforcement of a corporate culture of business value. 3 FullLifeCycle To what extent are benefits management capabilities embedded throughout the full life cycle of an investment from initial planning to asset retirement? Focus is on technology delivery - no formal benefits management processes are applied Benefits planning capabilities are applied to some investments, but there is a lack of consistency Benefits planning and delivery capabilities are consistently applied to all investments Benefits planning, delivery and harvesting capabilities are embedded throughout the full life cycle of an investment decision for all investments Business cases are reviewed, updated and re-evaluated throughout the full life cycle of a investment 4 BusinessCase (Role) To what extent, and how effectively are business cases used to create and sustain business value? No formal process exists to justify investment using business cases Business cases are ad hoc, largely focused on cost, and used on a project-by-project basis to secure funding Business cases are required for all major investments and have some linkage to business value Business cases are required for all investments and include benefits realization plans, but are not updated after approval Business cases are reviewed, updated and re-evaluated throughout the full life cycle of a investment 5 Rolesandresponsibilities How clearly defined are the accountabilities related to the realization of value from IT- enabled investments? The IT function is accountable for the delivery of IT capabilities and maintaining continuity of IT services. No accountability is established for benefits realization The IT function is accountable for delivering IT capabilities and services as agreed with the business. Some individuals take responsibility for benefits realization without commitment from the business IT and the business share accountability for implementing IT-enabled change. There is increasing focus on benefits but individual roles and responsibilities are unclear Accountabilities for optimizing benefits from individual investments are clearly assigned, accepted and monitored Accountability for maximizing the value from the investment portfolio is clearly assigned, accepted and monitored 6 RelevantMetrics To what extent are metrics related to the realization of value from IT-enabled investments clearly defined and broadly used ? Some simple financial metrics exist and are applied on an individual basis. No consistent or effective tracking of benefits. More sophisticated financial metrics exist, but are not applied consistently. No consistent or effective tracking of benefits. Benefits are tracked for all individual investments using basic measures of alignment, financial value and risk Robust “lead” and “lag” metrics of alignment, financial and non-financial value and risk are established at the individual investment and portfolio level Robust metrics of alignment, financial and non-financial value and risk are established, reviewed and adjusted across the full life cycle of individual investments, and for all portfolios Maturity Levels LeadershipGovernanceDRAFT-Revised BAR CBB-level maturity / questionnaire DRAFT – For Discussion Only
  • 40. © Innovation Value Institute 2013 40 Q # CBB Category CBB Question 1 2 3 4 5 7 BenefitsPlanning To what extent are processes established that plan the performance of both individual programs and the overall portfolio to optimize benefits and maximize value ? No formal planning process exists for IT- enabled change initiatives; if used, business cases are ad hoc and inconsistent Acknowledgment of the need to plan for major IT-enabled business investments & IT services; business cases are required for major investments, but focus is less on value and more on technology delivery cost, ignoring both the lifetime operational and support costs, and the costs of business change required to meanifully use the technology to deliver benefits. Where present the discussion on value is limited to unsubstantiated financial benefits, and/or non-financial benefits without specifying their contribution to value. Approval confined to narrow financial criteria Processes are defined and documented; processes explicitly account for business changes required to achieve targeted business benefits; business cases are required for all investments and include benefits realization plans, benefits maps, with benefits and risk registers; IT & business share accountability for benefits realization, but roles & responsibilities are unclear Processes are standardized with enterprise planning systems. business cases are reviewed, updated and re-evaluated throughout the life of IT-enabled change initiatives, and the appropriate decisions are made to continue, change or cancel Processes continually re-evaluate the performance of both individual programs and the overall portfolio to optimize benefits and maximize value 8 BenefitsEnablement To what extent are all the necessary business and technology capabilities required to enable benefits identified and delivered ? Focus is on deliverables – on time, to budget, to specification - rather than benefits Focus is evolving to include benefits but is predominantly on end- outcomes Projects framed as benefits-driven; benefits plan incorporated into project plan; team design takes benefits delivery ownership/roles (IT & Business) into consideration; intermediate outcomes on benefits maps are tracked and controlled Scope (management) of project delivery is on achievement of benefits and outcomes rather than technology delivery; benefits management, monitoring and communicating performance, and taking appropriate remedial action The IT and business commmunity collaborate to ensure the BAR Plan execution and the delivery of final benefits from investments. 9 Benefits Harvesting To what extent is there active oversight and management of benefits delivery over the operational life, in the context of both individual projects and the overall portfolio? Managing of benefits harvesting is ad hoc or non-existent Post-implementation reviews takes place but benefits are overlooked Benefits harvesting stage gates are enacted and reviewed throughout the life cycle; harvesting teams established to monitor and drive harvesting ; benefits targets baked into budgets; Benefits targets integrated into overall organizational performance Oversight of benefits delivery is done in the context of the overall portfolio 10 BehaviouralChange To what extent is the behavioural change required to ensure full benefits realization understood, managed and incentivised? No formal Benefits plan, or limited clarity about the desired outc Benefits Plan describes the process(without a link to behaviour) change needed to achieve the outcome. Benefits ownership is vaguely defined or unclear, with no individual ownership or accountability defined at a collective level at best without formal commitment to deliver Benefits Plans are explicitly linked to required behavioural change on the part of individual owners and their delegates. However, formal tracking of behaviour change (leading to benefits realisation) is not undertaken, and supporting measures such as education and skills training are not in place. Benefits Ownership is formally accepted, detailed behavioural changes formally delegated where appropriate, and linked to personal performance objectives and reviews. Suitable education & skills training programmes in place. Benefits status is tracked and correlated with measurement of expected behavioural change Behavioural Change is formally measured and analysed, and sustained by regularly improving/refreshing supporting processes and incentivising measures. Enterprise Value (as a mindset and as an aggregate of planned & actual benefits in the portfolio) is correlated with observed levels of organisational behaviour change. Both are benchmarked externally as part of an overall continuous improvement policy. 11 StakeholderEngagement To what extent does the organization identify relevant stakeholders, understand their role in the succesful delivery of business benefits, and actively engage with them to ensure that success? The Project/Programme plan contains a partial list, if any of relevant stakeholders, without specific reference to their roles in Benefits Realisation, the impact of any changes on them, or the actions required to engage them The list of stakeholders has been analysed and correlated to the planned benefits realisation activity. Stakeholder impact analysis has been carried out at a high level, if at all . No Engagement Strategy has been drawn up in the context of Benefits Realisation Stakeholder Engagement is a recognisable workstream in the Project/Benefits Plan. Outline engagement plans are in place, but these are not formally reviewed at Governance level. A detailed Stakeholder Engagement Plan is formally adopted and included in the Value Governance framework. For each Stakeholder or Group, It includes impact analysis, required response (RACI-based) and a customised engagement strategy to ensure that all stakeholders are engaged to respond in the required manner Stakeholder Engagement is a routine element of all Benefits plans. In addition to having formal, detailed analyses of impacts of change on stakeholders and the associated engagement plans, programme change agents and their managers are trained to understand how people respond to change (i.e. at an emotional level), how best to address Resistance to Change 12 Communication To what extent is communication managed for the realisation, management and governance of business benefits? Communication limited to standard Project Management and Oversight reporting. No recognition of the need to address the People Aspects of Change General Vision for the Programme and its business benefits is broadcast at programme launch. Focuses on goals, tasks, targets and deadlines, but not on how individual behaviour change is linked to specific benefits realisation There is a Communications plan with interventions customised (in terms of medium, format, content and timing) for target stakeholders. The Communications Plan is explicitly tied into the Benefits Plan (and its individual benefits). The Communications Plan is two- way, incorporating individual feedback and general reporting to allow it to be monitored, reviewed and escalated at Governance levels. Communication is considered a critical part of the Realisation, Management and Governance of Business Benefits. It is recognised and fully supported as a critical skill of accredited change managers for all forms of leadership interactions, ranging from Information, Education and Participation to Negotiation and Enforcement. 13 BenefitsReview Is benefits thinking embedded into the broader investment decision making and project success assessed based on the benefits and change achieved? No attempt is made to ensure a benefits mindset when considering investments Benefits are reviewed in the cointext of determining if the proposed change has been achieved/not achieved Lessons learned reviews are facilitated with a focus on benefits Architectural reviews are completed to determine potential benefits There are formal benefits-driven portfolio appraisal reviews Identify additional benefits Iterative Benefits reviews occur across the investment lifecycle. 14 Practiceevolution, innovationandsharing How are Learning and innovation practices promoted and shared in the organization ? Any sharing, innovation or evolution of specific benefit practices happens in an ad hoc manner Sharing innovation or evolution of specific benefits practices are established but are largely informal and confined to IT Some education and training is available A clear & comprehensive lifecycle framework is consistently used by both IT & the business and supported by comprehensive education/training programmes and relevant specialists & tools enabling adoption and development of practices There is a leadership focus on championing of learning, sharing and innovation in the evolution of benefits practice for both individuals and teams Learning and innovation are formally embedded in the use and onward development of all benefits practices Learning Organization Maturity Levels BenefitsProcess ManagementofChange DRAFT – For Discussion Only
