Glad I’ve got some decent response to my initial post. It seemed to my untrained eye that the periods they were throwing about were particularly random. A conference I chaired yesterday appeared to have some more sensible periods mentioned by speakers – one quoted 3-5 years as a reasonable period for “short term paybacks”.
I wonder whether there could ever be consistent approximate periods offered by an objective organisation to offer some clarity for clients and the industry on this.
