5. Realizing the Benefits
The Business Change Manager(s) are responsible for integrating the outputs from the projects into the operational
environment and thereby generating the expected benefits. Realizing the Benefits identifies three distinct sets of activities which comprise this process, they are:
• Managing Pre-Transition which involves the analysis, preparation and planning for the business change
• Managing Transition which includes all the activities involved in the handover and integration of outputs into the business environment
• Managing Post-Transition which includes the measurement of benefits.
6. Closing the Programme
The purpose of each of the processes within the Transformational Flow is to ensure that each programme is managed in a consistent manner. The ‘Closing a Programme’ process is applied to ensure the work of the programme is completed and that any follow-on support and actions are in place to ensure the ongoing realization of the benefits.
