ILX Group plc: ILX Group launches Management of Value (MoV™) Foundation e-learning course to help organisations optimise return on investment

...Best practice guidance for managers who are charged with maximising the benefit from both financial and non-financial resources...

ILX Group plc, the global software company delivering innovative Best Practice training solutions, today launched its Management of Value (MoV^TM) Foundation e-learning course.  The MoV^TM Foundation course is based upon the recommended guidance from the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) and is targeted at managers charged with maximising the value of resources invested to get the optimum financial and non-financial benefits from programmes and projects.

ILX's accredited MoV^TM course takes approximately six hours to complete, which is equivalent to a two day classroom-based workshop. Using voice, animation and activities, the main body of the course consists of 10 sessions which cover the main Principles, Processes and Techniques of MoV^TM. The course also covers MoV^TM Approach and Implementation, the MoV^TM Environment, Embedding MoV^TM and the MoV^TM Guidance Appendices.  In practical terms this means that managers obtain a better insight into the processes and techniques of utilising resources more effectively and a check list to help identify how an organisation's current value management capabilities may be raised.

Eddie Kilkelly, Chief Operating Officer at ILX Group, commented, "Our new Management of Value (MoV^TM) course will help decision makers match the projects that need to be delivered against the organisation's available resources - and that's particularly important when managing skilled people. Benefits are maximised when the organisation's best people are working on the right projects - so MoV can provide guidance on resource decisions.  Applied properly and consistently MoV will provide greater transparency within a project and help generate acceptance for changing priorities.  In addition, the training stresses that it is essential to position MoV^TM as part of the corporate governance process, supported by the CEO, in order to achieve buy-in from the necessary stakeholders. In this way, we are able to add value to the core guidance from OGC and help managers and organisations to maximise the return on projects and programmes."

According to the ILX Group, specific audiences will benefit from undertaking the MoV^TMcourses:

• Corporate Managers - responsible for instigating MoV^TM studies with a view to starting new programmes or projects

• Programme and Project Managers - responsible for making sure programmes deliver the best value solutions, taking into account the views of the key stakeholders

• Operational Managers - responsible for undertaking MoV^TM in order to review operational procedures and improve efficiency

• Plus all other personnel who have an interest in or responsibility for the Management of Value within their organisation.
