One of the major obstacles for SPI is the reluctance of business managment to invest in it. There is a general lack of reliable information on the business benefits of SPI, and an absence of hard evidence of satisfactory return on investment. The panel aims to encourage debate on the need for collecting quantitative evidence, and will seek feedback from the audience on whether their organisations measure the costs and benefits, or the return on investment, for SPI.
