Episode 68 — Evaluate benefits realization across investments, processes, and services for truth (Task 31)
This episode focuses on evaluating benefits realization across investments, processes, and services to ensure governance gets the truth about value, not optimistic narratives or isolated success stories. You’ll learn how benefits realization must be consistent across the portfolio, using common definitions, baselines, measurement windows, and evidence standards, so executives can compare outcomes and make rational decisions. We’ll cover how to validate benefits that come from process changes, service improvements, risk reduction, and customer experience gains, including how to handle attribution when multiple initiatives contribute to the same outcome. Real-world scenarios include teams reporting benefits without evidence, benefits shifting between programs during reorganizations, and service changes that improve one metric while degrading another. On the CGEIT exam, strong answers typically emphasize governance methods that standardize benefits measurement, require evidence, assign accountable owners, and use results to drive corrective action or portfolio rebalancing.
