Investment management establishes a set of simple practices that allow an ‘investor’ to clearly define the need for an investment, shape the solution and track the delivery of benefits throughout the investment lifecycle. The adoption of these practices has been shown to drive investments that are more effective at implementing policy and reducing the risk of investment failure.
