Ford had to embed benefits into their change portfolio and major programmes and required a visual solution to ensure the management team could be quickly and easily engaged. They also needed to understand the cost and time implications across all their initiatives and to evaluate different solution options. They needed confidence in their decision-making enabled by trusted, benefit-focused information. Finally, benefits forecasts had to feed into their existing management information system.

Ford now have a trusted source of management information and retain the corporate knowledge of every decision. They use automation and analytics to justify the optimal strategies in a consistent approach to benefits optimisation.
