Result-Based Management (RBM)

Globalisation, transformed markets, intense competition and new technologies have converged to make organisational management focus more sharply on making certain that every internal programme and project achieves all intended results. Stakeholders are demanding that the internal and external forces of change are managed with the type of programmes that will enable the organisation to thrive in the face of change. Holding departments accountable for results is the essence of this unique training course that presents the principles and practices on which Results-Based Management (RBM) is founded.

This training course enables staff and managers to align, develop and review ongoing planning and reporting that is essential to the success of any public or private programme. This training course provides an understanding of the processes needed to bring different business teams together to (a) better manage and measure the outcomes of their respective programmes and projects; (b) keep a project under control; and (c) achieve stated objectives and goals.  

This Results Based Management training course will highlight:

• The multiple processes of Results Based Management (RBP)
• The critical role of monitoring in demonstrating the performance of programs and projects and in steering the implementation process towards the intended results
• Developing realistic programme objectives and measures to assess project outcomes and impact
