Course overview
By creating a comprehensive business case, organisations can ensure that projects are well-conceived, justified, and planned; ultimately increasing the likelihood of successful outcomes and sustainable value creation.
By honing your writing skills, you will create documents that present a comprehensive analysis and justification for a proposed business initiative, project or investment.
By giving decision-makers a clear understanding of a proposed initiative within a well-conceived business case, they will have all the details of the opportunity proposed, including:
- the potential benefits
- costs involved
- possible risks and how to mitigate against them
- feasibility assessments
A clear, well written document is a vital step in justifying a project and facilitates informed decision-making. It is a means of presenting a proposed initiative in the best light, demonstrating how it will add value to the organisation and help to prioritise investment.
During this half-day course, the expert trainer will cover best practise in writing business cases, cover what to include in your rationale and explain how to put them to best use to give you a greater chance of proposing a successful business initiative.
This training course is part of our collection of Leadership & Management Training Courses which focus on leadership, innovation, strategy, communication, finance, problem solving and conflict management, to name a few key areas.
