Result-Based Management (RBM)

Introduction

Globalisation, transformed markets, intense competition and new technologies have converged to make organisational management focus more sharply on making certain that every internal programme and project achieves all intended results. Stakeholders are demanding that the internal and external forces of change are managed with the type of programmes that will enable the organisation to thrive in the face of change. Holding departments accountable for results is the essence of this unique training course that presents the principles and practices on which Results-Based Management (RBM) is founded.
