Optimising The Return From Investments – A Senior Manager’s Guide to Managing Benefits, by Steve Jenner Priced £5.00 Available from TSO bookshop and Amazon Reviewed by Chris Walters   I love books that create a new angle on some existing work, so I was excited to be asked to review this one, from a number of perspectives:   Was Steve going to be able to rein in his exuberance and boundless energy (if you’ve heard him talk benefits management, you’ll know exactly what I mean!) for the topic to be able to talk to senior managers in their own language and keep them engaged? Would senior managers gain enough knowledge to understand the benefit of managing benefits? Is there enough in the book to stimulate and enable action? I wouldn’t have to read a monster tome before writing this review – this one can fit comfortably in a shirt pocket! Starting with structure, Steve covers the following topics in concise chapters: What are Benefits and Benefits Management? Why Do You Need Benefits Management and What Will You Get From It? What Are The Barriers To Success How Do You Overcome The Barriers To Benefits Realization? How Do You Get Started and Sustain Progress
