ROI - Key benefits of a numerical calculation
•  Price is a proxy for value.
•  Makes it easier to align and integrate with financial
systems performance.
•  Supports the identification of critical sources of value.
•  Promotes communication and makes results
quantitatively tangible.

What about the Challenges?
•  It is a simplification of the possible scenarios.
•  Plenty of cultural, social and moral aspects.
•  Benefits can be questionable since the perceptions of
value can be different.

Example: Corporate University
•  Q: Why is there interest in the implementation of the
Corporate University?
–  A: So that we can prepare new talents
•  Q: Why is there interest in preparing new talents?
–  A: To have in the future a greater allegiance in our
executive level professionals.

Get the white paper at http://rvarg.as/roipmo

21
Example: Corporate University
•  Q: Why do you want higher allegiance in the future?
–  A: To lessen the turnover that generates additional
costs
Then it can be concluded that one of the main objectives of
the Corporate University is to reduce additional costs of
hiring.
Imagine that the Tiger Screws’ cost of hiring is $8,716,704
over the next 5 years and that there is a likelihood that they
are reduced in the coming years because of the corporate
university.

Key Points and Conclusions
•  The model is a "master line” of the value calculation
and can thus be customized.
•  The entire process is to be performed in teams.
•  Any mathematical model is a simplification of the real
process.
•  The result of the PMO is achieved by simulating
imagined future scenarios (a risk inherent to the
process).

59
Conclusions
•  It is impossible to determine ROI without knowing which
projects are selected and the strategy that goes behind
them.
•  If the PMO will manage projects with no calculable
benefits (mathematically intangible), it is essential that
the calculation process (step 2) is carried out with great
care and attention.
•  This is a laborious process but much more effective to
determine/prove the value of the PMO.

    Conclusions •  It isimpossible to determine ROI without knowing which projects are selected and the strategy that goes behind them. •  If the PMO will manage projects with no calculable benefits (mathematically intangible), it is essential that the calculation process (step 2) is carried out with great care and attention. •  This is a laborious process but much more effective to determine/prove the value of the PMO.
