Approval-Ready Business Case Masterclass
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.
By the end of the Masterclass, you will have practical working outputs and a clear plan for progressing your business case.
Define the underlying problem or opportunity, the outcomes being sought and the decision your business case must support.
A first draft of your opportunity statement, strategic logic and decision request.
Move beyond a single preferred solution and consider realistic alternatives, including business as usual, minimum-change and more substantial options.
An initial options longlist, shortlist criteria and evaluation approach.
Determine what must be assessed across benefits, costs, financial value, assumptions, scenarios, sensitivities, risks and deliverability.
A practical analysis plan showing what must be developed, tested and validated.
Consider how the preferred option could be delivered, including governance, resources, stakeholders, organisational change and benefits realisation.
An initial implementation, stakeholder-engagement and risk-planning framework.
Bring the business-case logic together into a clear recommendation for decision-makers.
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.
