ROI Forecasting

What happens if a project is needed, but no budget is available, or the budgets have been reduced significantly?

Join us in May when  Jack J. Phillips, Ph.D., chairman, ROI Institute, Inc. returns to ATD Bay Colonies to speak to us about ROI Forecasting. After the session, those in attendance can participate in a virtual drawing to win a copy of the book, The Consultant's Guide to Results-Driven Business Proposals: How to Write Proposals That Forecast Impact and ROI (McGraw-Hill, 2010), written by Jack Phillips, Ph.D. and Patricia Pulliam Phillips, Ph.D.

This session will describe how to create a forecast for an unexpected or unplanned project. This type of forecast connects the proposed performance improvement solution to business measures that will improve if this project is implemented. When the monetary value of this improvement is calculated and compared to the project’s projected cost, a financial ROI is forecasted. The challenge is to be conservative with analysis and credible with the conclusions. 

Using the ROI Methodology® as a framework, this process will forecast data at five levels, plus intangibles.  When conservative standards are used and presented in a very compelling way, this makes an excellent argument for allocating the funds, even in tough times.

Objectives

At the end of this session, participants should be able to:

  1. List the five levels of data that are present with any performance improvement project.
  2. Identify the data needed by executives along with their expectations.
  3. Select the experts to provide data to make the estimates for a forecast.
  4. Forecast the impact, ROI, and intangibles of an important performance improvement project.
  5. Present the ROI forecast in a compelling way.
  6. Describe an example of an actual ROI forecasting case study.
