| Description: | Creating effective business cases is a competency expected of managers today. Understand what makes a successful business case. Help your organisation make better investment decisions.
Organisations build business cases for important technology investments. Many do a reasonable job of understanding the upfront investment cost. However, many struggle to adequately quantify the business value of the investment, the total cost of ownership and the risk factors. Often the business case process is not consistent, repeatable or standardised.
In this half-day briefing, you will learn the fundamentals for building compelling business cases for technology investments. The briefing focuses on the use of good practice and methodologies to create and present business cases that will get the attention of senior management. It explains the most successful practices for developing business cases; provides understanding of financial concepts; and demonstrates how to quantify business benefits, risks, and options.
