RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
Purpose
To help you assess the return you have made on your investment in the intervention – is it value for money?
In the public sector, the ROI is the cost reduction, saving or avoidance obtained after an improvement in processes or systems against the cost of the improvement or intervention.
Return on investment is a performance measure used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment or to compare the efficiency of a number of different investments, social or otherwise.
Return on investment is a very popular metric because of its versatility and simplicity. That is, if an investment does not have a positive ROI, or if there are other opportunities with a higher ROI, then the investment should be not be undertaken.
How to use or apply
Use the following formula to calculate your ROI. You can do this in the scoping stage to assess viability of intervention options and at the end to assess the result.
ROI =
(Intervention cost reduction, saving or avoidance) – (All associated intervention costs)
(All associated intervention costs)
OR
(Net gain) _
(All associated intervention costs)
You will have to carefully think about the monetary value of the investment made and the returns gained. Remember, this will include a cost of people’s time, for instance, the proportional salary costs of the steering group involvement, not just easily attributable costs associated with commissioning.
When you assess the ROI you will need to consider it against the timeframes involved, in particular the long term implications for sustaining a return as well as comparing it against the relative impact of other interventions/investments.
