Benefits Dependency Network (BDN)

A Benefits Dependency Network (BDN) is a visual tool that helps organizations understand how different activities and resources contribute to achieving specific benefits or outcomes. It links various projects, initiatives, and investments to the desired results, illustrating the connections and dependencies between them. By mapping these relationships, organizations can prioritize efforts, allocate resources effectively, and ensure that all activities align with their strategic goals. Essentially, a BDN clarifies how each part of a project or initiative contributes to overall success, helping to manage complexity and improve decision-making.
