APM (Association for Project Management) released its second Thought Leadership Guide on Benefits Management.
It's entitled Delivering benefits from investment in change - creating organisational capability, and it describes how to make the next step from Strategy into capability.

This guide is the second of a series of four, pitched at a strategic level, on how to make Benefits Management actually work.  And its authors embody many decades of experience between them.
