Intangible benefits play a key role not only in assessing the value of projects, but also in shaping the strategic function of the organization. In particular, new intangible benefits such as cybersecurity are becoming increasingly important in today's digital world. The article analyses the significance of intangible benefits as an important factor in assessing the value of implemented projects. A literature study is provided showing what intangible benefits have been identified to date. These benefits were then compared with intangible benefits in projects implemented in a large organization from the energy industry (based on a sample of nearly 100 projects). This comparison allows for a more up-to-date look at the intangible benefits of IT projects in large organizations, especially those implementing internal projects.
