Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented public sector benefits realization method for use by a public sector organization, comprising the steps of: generating, by a computer, a public sector benefits realization program for selecting and implementing a particular technology; mapping the organization, by the computer, using the public sector benefits realization program, the mapping comprising: mapping functions of the organization into one or more process groups; determining one or more processes associated with the process groups; and determining, by the computer, one or more activities associated with the one or more processes, wherein the public sector benefits realization program is pre-configured with a plurality of processes related to public sector organizations and wherein the public sector benefits realization program presents one or more process groups for each function, one or more process groups for each process, and one or more activities for each process; developing a set of value drivers, using the public sector benefits realization program, by using the mapping to evaluate the potential benefits of the particular technology, the developing comprising: determining value drivers for one or more activities; and relating value drivers to a strategic plan of the public sector organization, the value drivers being linked to the one or more activities associated with the one or more processes; developing, by the computer, using the public sector benefits realization program, a set of predicted transformation benefits related to the achievement of one or more value drivers; identifying, using the public sector benefits realization program, a potential range of technology benefits by assessing one or more transformation benefits and an associated potential to be realized through the implementation of the particular technology; evaluating, using the public sector benefits realization program, a benefits potential of an implementation of the particular technology, the evaluating comprising: benchmarking a cost of one or more particular technology expenditures; determining a plurality of expected savings that may be realized by implementing the particular technology; assessing a probability range for realizing each expected savings of the plurality of savings; and calculating one or more expected ranges of benefits for the one or more expected technology expenditure benefits; and developing, by the computer, using the public sector benefits realization program, an implementation plan for delivering the particular technology to the organization, the implementation plan comprising: a scheme for implementing the particular technology, wherein the scheme is updated as the one or more benefits are realized, deferred for following implementations, or removed; and a monitoring routine that monitors the realization of each of the one or more benefits and reports realized benefits of the particular technology implementation.
