Benefits Realisation Management
About Begin With Benefits
Hi there, my name is Megan Forster and I am an APMG certified Benefits Manager.
I am dedicated to demonstrating the strategic value that can be achieved by implementing new projects, whether that be in the traditional waterfall approach or agile methodology.
I have over 12 years experience working in complex digital projects which which gives me a unique ability to confidently and accurately evaluate how change can deliver benefits. Whether these be in terms of financial savings, workforce efficiency, community outcomes, patient safety, quality of care, clinician satisfaction or the sustainability of government services.
