• Evaluate supporting and opposing arguments
• Prioritize opportunities and manage their status
• Present, validate, and support decisions about business cases

No. Developing the written business case is only one part of the process.

The course focuses on the analysis and decision-making discipline behind a credible business case: identifying the opportunity, understanding change drivers, evaluating alternatives, analyzing value, stakeholders, risks, costs, constraints, and competing arguments, and validating the recommendation.

The goal is not simply to produce a document. It is to develop a defensible basis for deciding whether an opportunity should move forward.

The course addresses costs and value as important components of business case analysis, but within a broader enterprise perspective.

Participants consider value drivers, stakeholders, risk and risk mitigation, costs, constraints, assumptions, and supporting and opposing arguments so decisions are not based on financial considerations alone.

Yes. A real-world case study is an important part of the course.

Participants identify opportunities, develop sophisticated business cases, and discuss decisions that affect workflows, reporting relationships, and business systems within a complex business process. The case study provides a practical template participants can leverage when developing business cases in their own organizations.
