Approval-Ready Business Case Masterclass

Build a clear path to an approval-ready business case.

In one focused live workshop, assess what is already strong, identify the critical gaps and create a practical action plan for moving your case towards executive, CFO or board consideration.

Five-Step Framework Practical working outputs Professional resources to keep

What You Will Achieve in Three Hours

By the end of the Masterclass, you will have practical working outputs and a clear plan for progressing your business case.

Clarify the opportunity and decision required

Define the underlying problem or opportunity, the outcomes being sought and the decision your business case must support.

Your output:

A first draft of your opportunity statement, strategic logic and decision request.

Develop a credible approach to the options

Move beyond a single preferred solution and consider realistic alternatives, including business as usual, minimum-change and more substantial options.

Your output:

An initial options longlist, shortlist criteria and evaluation approach.

Identify the analysis and evidence required

Determine what must be assessed across benefits, costs, financial value, assumptions, scenarios, sensitivities, risks and deliverability.

Your output:

A practical analysis plan showing what must be developed, tested and validated.

Establish the implementation pathway

Consider how the preferred option could be delivered, including governance, resources, stakeholders, organisational change and benefits realisation.

Your output:

An initial implementation, stakeholder-engagement and risk-planning framework.

Strengthen the recommendation and approval pathway

Bring the business-case logic together into a clear recommendation for decision-makers.

Your output:

A draft recommendation pathway and prioritised action plan for completing your business case.

You will not complete an entire business case in three hours. You will leave with a structured framework, practical working outputs and a clear plan for developing a stronger, approval-ready case.
