Step 1: Choose the template that perfectly aligns with your project’s focus to lay a solid foundation.

Begin by choosing the template that best matches your project’s focus.

• Our platform offers a wide range of templates—from market expansion to capital investments to government grants—each designed to align with specific business needs and stakeholder expectations. Picking the right template ensures your business case is structured, targeted, and ready to make an impact from the start.

Step 2: Frame your case by summarizing its purpose and aligning it with your strategic objectives.

Framing your business case is crucial, especially for new users navigating this process for the first time. Here is how we frame our business case.

Crafting a compelling business case title is important.

• Think of a concise, descriptive title that captures the essence of your business case initiative or project. The title should be clear and compelling to grab the attention of your team, decision-makers, or stakeholders right away. Keep it short - ideally under 10 words.

Specifying the audience or decision-makers.

• This ensures that the business case is specifically written for these decision-makers.

Select the language and tone required for your business case.

Describe the opportunity or problem the business case is solving.

• Reflect on the intended outcomes of this business case. Are you aiming to secure investment, initiate a new digital transformation project, or address a specific problem?
• Summarize the opportunity the business case is solving - focusing on the opportunity and the intended outcomes for the new product.
  
• A well-constructed paragraph of 3-5 sentences should suffice to cover the business case's main objectives and significance. This summary guides the development of the entire document and ensures that every component is strategically aligned to meet the defined objectives.

Aligning Business Case Objectives with Organizational Strategy.

• Articulating your organization's objectives and strategic goals in relation to the business case is crucial as it ensures the project is not merely a tactical move but a strategic initiative that supports broader organizational ambitions. This alignment is essential for demonstrating how the proposed project will contribute to key business outcomes, thereby reinforcing its relevance and justifying investment or action within the larger context of the organization's strategic framework.

 

Step 3: Map out your implementation strategy with a detailed timeline and key milestones.

For your business case to move from concept to approval to implementation, it's crucial to map out the implementation strategy and timeline. This includes estimating the recommended project's implementation, its duration in months and setting a targeted start date.


Establish the targeted start date.

• Select a realistic start date for the proposed project, considering factors such as urgency, resource availability, prevailing market conditions, competing priorities, and synchronization with other ongoing initiatives. This start date is a benchmark for scheduling all subsequent milestones in the implementation strategy, ensuring a structured and timely progression.

Determine the implementation duration:

• Estimate the total time required to fully implement your business case from inception to completion, considering the scope and complexity of the proposed recommendations. Account for all critical phases of the implementation process, including planning, procurement, construction, execution, and the realization of business benefits.

 

Describe the implementation strategy:

• Describe how you will design, implement, and optimize the business case strategy and investment case to enhance decision-making, maximize efficiency, and achieve strategic objectives.
  

Step 4: Review your inputs and generate a professional draft that’s ready to win stakeholder approval.

Review your inputs:

• The final review step serves as a quality control measure, allowing for content optimization and resolving any inconsistencies. This process enhances the persuasiveness and effectiveness of the generated business case, preparing it for successful presentation and implementation.
