Better Business CasesFoundation & Practitioner

  • Includes BBC foundation and practitioner course workbooks and exams.

Given the Business Case is the most important part of a Project, identifying if the project is worth starting, and when reviewed it can influence as to whether the project continues or indeed is stopped, then you would expect it to have a real importance. However, many projects run with an optimistic Business Case, often poorly written, and organisations are spending money that may well not give them the return they expected.

This Better Business Cases™ Foundation and Practitioner is based on The Five Case Model, the UK Government’s best practice approach to planning spending proposals and enabling effective business decisions.

This provides a step by step guide to developing a business case, by:

  • Establishing a clear need for intervention – a case for change
  • Setting clear objectives – what you want to achieve from the investment
  • Considering a wide range of potential solutions – ensuring an optimal balance of benefits, cost and risk
  • Putting the arrangements in place to successfully deliver the proposal.

    This certificate is aimed for:

    • Senior Responsible Owners (SROs), Programme Directors and other Directors with responsibility for the successful delivery of programmes and projects.
    • Project Managers, Project Team members and specialist advisers tasked with delivering a business case for investment.
    • Officers involved in the scrutiny and review of investment proposals.

    You will learn:

    • The philosophy and underlying rationale of the Five Case Model.
    • The different types of business case, their purpose, who is responsible for them and when they are required in the development of a spending proposal.
    • The development of the business case in relation to other recognized and recommended best practice for programme and project management.
    • The development lifecycle of a business case and the relationships between the five cases.
    • How to apply the steps in the business case development framework, in order to support the production of a business case, using the Five Case Model, for a given scenario.
