Benefits Management & Business Acceptance Training

3 days - £1195 + vat

This course has been created for those requiring an understanding of how business benefits are managed to facilitate their delivery. The delivery of business benefits relies in part upon effective testing and implementation of business solutions and the course also covers these areas. Our approach is to underpin theoretical concepts with a realistic case study through which participants can gain experience of applying the benefits management and business acceptance techniques.
