The biggest challenge in managing benefits, the human factors webinar

This webinar presented on Tuesday 6 October 2020 introduced how psychology and cognitive bias affects what we think we know and how we make decisions. It is based on research by Kevin and his team and surveys of almost 700 professionals.

Kevin Parry, introduced how the way we think and make decisions affects us all in every aspect of identifying, planning and realising benefits. This often-hidden aspect of our lives affects everyone involved in the delivery of projects, programmes and portfolios, from the governance bodies to the sponsor and the project or programme team.

He explained the results from a series of webinar surveys with almost 700 professionals about what they believe, do and think about lessons learned from failures in delivering benefits.

Finally, he ended with some practical ideas and suggestions to increase our influence and improve our decisions.
