• Activities that Cisco recommends to ensure the realization of benefits include:

• Focus on measurable results, based on assumptions and risks

• Continue to add new actions on the way alongside those already identified

• It is considered best practice to validate the progress towards the expected results by
capturing both baseline and actual status information

• Conducting a pilot for a technology implementation can reduce risk and help to secure
buy-in from business decision makers
