• Own how benefits are defined, baselined, tracked and reported for investment initiatives, drawing on TTE - IPD's portfolio view for delivery status, holding benefit owners to account after implementation and giving the CIO a clear view of realised value against the business case.
• Own business adoption for investment change, making sure adoption owners are named, the business is ready before go-live, and new processes, operating model and ways of working are embedded and sustained.
