Project teams often struggle to get to generate a compelling business case. They struggle to find enough business value.
Yet we have consistently taken existing business cases and found four times the initial benefits in value. Same project, same cost, different perspective on value. That’s what our Value Delivery Management approach delivers.
To help you build a ‘knock out’ business case we have a series of simple, useful guides
- How to define your ‘desired business outcomes’
Projects are too often focused on the wrong set of outcomes for generating their value proposition. The business does not want a project it wants an outcome. The outcome delivers the benefits. So this Guide takes you through this critical process of defining the true business outcomes. More information
- How to identify your project’s benefits
Many project teams define their benefits too narrowly, missing 25% or more of the available value. In fact, we find this is an understatement as it is quite possible to leverage your defined ‘desired business outcomes’ into significant realistic benefits and value. This Guide tells you how to identify all of the available benefits and translate as many as possible into financial benefits. More information
- How to quantify your financial benefits
Identifying the benefits is one challenge, quantifying them is another. This Guide takes you through the process of finding the source data and presenting it so that the rationale, assumptions and other bases of your value proposition are clear and trackable. This approach sets you up for effective and simple benefits management. More information
- How to build your business case
The value proposition is only one part of your business case. Your business case needs to tell a story of why your organization should invest in your project. This Guide takes you through the process of presenting your ‘story’ and compelling business case. More information
- How to prioritize your projects
Once you have your business case you are set up to get your project approved. We have a series of Guides that take you, your Sponsor, the evaluation committee and approval/prioritization committee through the successive steps of prioritization. (Available soon)
- How to deliver your project’s benefits
The objective of the business case is to deliver the value proposition. This Guide takes you through the end-to-end benefits delivery process so that you can track and measure the progressive delivery of your benefits — your project’s business success. More information
