Abstract—The benefits framework has been widely discussed in recent literature for IT governance. This paper discusses existing IT governance and benefit models, and the issues with their implementation for benefits realization. The paper proposes a novel approach to benefits realization using defuzzification, stratification, target reachability and incremental enlargement principle within an iterative innovation-loop.

Index Terms—Benefit models, benefit management, benefit realization, IT governance.
