Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
Investment proposals, new projects, system purchases and service changes usually require a business case before they can proceed. A strong business case sets out the problem, options, costs, benefits and risks clearly enough for decision makers to approve with confidence. A weak one stalls good ideas or allows poor ones to proceed.
This Writing Effective Business Cases training course gives participants a structured method for building and writing persuasive, evidence-based business cases. Participants learn how to define the case for change, develop and appraise options, estimate costs and benefits, assess risks, plan delivery and present the case convincingly in writing and in person.
The course draws on widely used business case frameworks and gives participants templates and checklists they can adapt to their own organisation's requirements.
