...Best practice guidance for managers who are charged with maximising the benefit from both financial and non-financial resources...

LONDON - Thursday 3rd March 2011 - ILX Group plc, the global software company delivering innovative Best Practice training solutions, today launched its Management of Value (MoVTM) Foundation e-learning course.  The MoVTM Foundation course is based upon the recommended guidance from the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) and is targeted at managers charged with maximising the value of resources invested to get the optimum financial and non-financial benefits from programmes and projects.


Eddie Kilkelly, Chief Operating Officer at ILX GroupILX's accredited MoVTM course takes approximately six hours to complete, which is equivalent to a two day classroom-based workshop. Using voice, animation and activities, the main body of the course consists of 10 sessions which cover the main Principles, Processes and Techniques of MoVTM. The course also covers MoVTM Approach and Implementation, the MoVTM Environment, Embedding MoVTM and the MoVTM Guidance Appendices.  In practical terms this means that managers obtain a better insight into the processes and techniques of utilising resources more effectively and a check list to help identify how an organisation's current value management capabilities may be raised.

Eddie Kilkelly, Chief Operating Officer at ILX Group, commented, "Our new Management of Value (MoVTM) course will help decision makers match the projects that need to be delivered against the organisation's available resources - and that's particularly important when managing skilled people. Benefits are maximised when the organisation's best people are working on the right projects - so MoV can provide guidance on resource decisions.  Applied properly and consistently MoV will provide greater transparency within a project and help generate acceptance for changing priorities.  In addition, the training stresses that it is essential to position MoVTM as part of the corporate governance process, supported by the CEO, in order to achieve buy-in from the necessary stakeholders. In this way, we are able to add value to the core guidance from OGC and help managers and organisations to maximise the return on projects and programmes."

According to the ILX Group, specific audiences will benefit from undertaking the MoVTM courses:

•Corporate Managers - responsible for instigating MoVTM studies with a view to starting new programmes or projects

•Programme and Project Managers - responsible for making sure programmes deliver the best value solutions, taking into account the views of the key stakeholders

•Operational Managers - responsible for undertaking MoVTM in order to review operational procedures and improve efficiency
