Benefits Realisation Management - The Benefit Manager's Desktop Step-by-Step Guide

Stuart Wilde

Sinopse

Stuart undertook formal Benefits, Programme and Portfolio Management training and has been employed as a Benefits Manager in Projects, Programmes and Portfolio Offices (P3Os) and In-Service/ BaU teams in Public and Private Sector organisations since 2014.
It took Stuart time to implement effective Benefits Management despite attending formal training because there was no practical guide available, there was varied and competing views on the subject and, a successful approach with support from the organisation was hard to find. Indeed, much time had been spent on circular conversations trying to understand the subject, confusion and language. A structured/ informed guide could have saved significant time and money.
Stuart used the 'lived experience' to inform this guide and approach so the P3Os and In-Service/BaU teams can see it's practical application. Stuart removes the jargon, gets to the point and, seeks to save time so Benefit Managers can work effectively and at pace and, develop their knowledge and skills using an accepted approach to boost performance.
Stuart would like to thank all stakeholders who were involved either directly or indirectly, for their interactions, influence and exchanges and a special thank you to Paul Carter for his time and assistance.

Economic Impacts of Imperialism...

Arlo Holders

Imperialism, as a driving force in global history, established the foundation for much of the modern world's economic and political systems. The roots of imperialism stretch back to ancient civilizations, where conquest and control of territories provided the resources and labor necessary for expansion and prosperity. Over time, the concept evolved, shaped by cultural ambitions, geopolitical competition, and economic incentives. By the late 15th century, the age of exploration began a new phase of empire building, marked by the European powers seeking wealth and influence beyond their borders.
At the heart of imperialism was the pursuit of economic gain. Wealth from foreign lands, particularly precious metals, spices, and other coveted resources, spurred the earliest imperial endeavors. These ventures not only enriched nations but also fueled rivalry among emerging powers. The drive for resources and markets intensified during the Renaissance and the early modern period, as advancements in navigation and maritime technology made long-distance expeditions feasible. Imperial powers sought to expand their influence by establishing colonies, which would serve as sources of raw materials and as markets for manufactured goods.
Cultural and ideological factors also played a role in shaping imperialism. The belief in the superiority of certain civilizations over others justified the conquest and subjugation of indigenous peoples. Religion was another motivator, with missionary efforts often accompanying territorial expansion. Christianity, in particular, became a tool for legitimizing imperial control, as colonizing powers framed their endeavors as missions to civilize and convert native populations. This intertwined economic exploitation with a sense of moral and cultural obligation, creating a complex dynamic between the colonizers and the colonized.

Dedication - The Focused Effort...

Esther Jameson

Focused effort is the driving force behind all meaningful achievement. Without it, even the best-laid plans can fall apart, as scattered attention and a lack of dedication can easily derail progress. To commit wholeheartedly to a goal, it’s essential to recognize that success requires more than just intention; it demands consistent, concentrated effort over time. 
One of the key elements of focused effort is the ability to direct all your resources—time, energy, and mental capacity—toward a single purpose. In a world filled with distractions, this can be incredibly challenging. Every day, we face numerous interruptions, from social media to personal obligations, all of which pull us away from our goals. The ability to stay committed to a singular purpose amidst such distractions is what separates those who succeed from those who falter. Understanding the importance of focused effort means learning to shut out the noise and concentrate on the task at hand. 
Committing wholeheartedly to your goals means prioritizing them above everything else. It’s not about being busy; it’s about being purposeful. Often, people get caught up in the busyness of life and mistake activity for productivity. However, without focus, even the most well-meaning efforts can become inefficient and ultimately ineffective. Focused effort ensures that each action you take aligns with the larger goal, creating a clear path to success.
