What is RDV

If you are a Digital Tech Developer/Innovator, you may see RDV as an unnecessary bureaucratic or managerial distraction. This is understandable, but in fact, it is an extremely important and modern extension of the benefits realization management framework that many Private Sector and Public Sector Organisations increasingly demand and use. So, here’s a quick run down of what you need to know and do.

Realising Digital Value & Benefits Realisation Management:

Applying an evidence-based approach and evaluation process to Digital Health Technology Systems design, development, implementation and adoption.

Think about and start to answer these questions:

• What is the type, ambition and scale of digital transformation you envisage?
• What are the benefits & value? (projected from your project)
• What can you evidence and how can you present it?
• What do you need? (more funding?, a test bed?, tech support?…)
• Who can help? (commissioners, senior management, funding bodies, research teams, tech developers, stakeholders, peer projects)
• What will tick their boxes; what benefits will they value the most; what discourse do they use?
• How can you best frame what you have to get what you need?
