Executive Business Case Training
 

Business Executives in world-class organizations are increasingly talking about the Business Case but not everyone knows what one looks like. Even the term Business Case has several different names and variations of analysis eg, ROI ( return on investment ) Analysis, Cost / Benefit Analysis, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

 

For many Business Executives they feel challenged when they have to create or evaluate a business case, This is especially so when management seeks answers to questions like these:

 
  • How do we know there is a profitable business in the proposed partnership/alliance?
  • Which product should we bring to market?
  • Should we outsource the service or build capacity internally?
  • Should we buy or lease the new location?
  • Will the purchase of new technology justify the investment?

Even Executives with business degrees and backgrounds in finance and planning, encounter difficulties because standards for case content and structure are rarely taught or explained in business schools or business books.
