using Construct IT's
Measuring the Benefit of IT Innovation framework
An overview to Construct IT's 'Measuring the benefits of IT Innovation' framework
How it works, how to use it, download the framework as a Adobe PDF document.
A key aspect in achieveing benefit from IT projects is the ability of
organisations, where required, to complete detailed benefit evaluations.
They enable strong business cases for systems to be produced, and enable
systems to be fully assessed and utilised.
A major part of the research that
has developed the IT Exploitation Process, has come from a number of IT
benefit evaluations completed with UK construction organisations. 'Live'
IT implementation projects were evaluated using the Construct IT's 'Measuring
the Benefit of IT Innovation' framework, and examples of companies
existing use and adpatation of the framework were collected. Detailed
examples are given below:
- Intranet system implemented by a UK contractor across its regional offices.
- Electronic document management system implemented as a pilot scheme on a construction site offices.
- Adaptation of the framework - examples of how a major national and international UK contractor has extensively used and adapted the framework to meet its specific organisational requirements.
- Loughborough
University Benefit Assessment report (1999) which
contains three case studies using the framework. The report contains
a detailed analysis of the techniques and methodologies used in
IT benefit evaluation, and uses the three case studies to assess
the effectiveness and use of Construct IT benefit evaluation framework.
The three case study systems in the report are:1. An electronic document management system.
2. A video conference system for a design and build collaboration.
3. a video conference system to improve organisational communications.
