With organisations investing significantly each year on capital investments such as buildings, equipment, and facilities, it is essential that the right choices are made and provide value for money. A good business case provides the evidence to support decision-making and assurance to all stakeholders of responsible action. Business cases are not just associated with larger projects, they are equally relevant and just as important to smaller projects or developments. Many projects commence with an optimistic business case which is poorly written, resulting in an organisation spending money that may not provide the return expected or wanted.

Better Business Cases training and certification is designed to help individuals:

• Understand and apply the philosophy of the Five Case Model to business cases and other spending proposals

• Understand different types of business cases, their purpose, who is responsible for them, and when they are required

• Understand the development lifecycle of a business case and the relationships between the five cases

• Develop effective business cases and spending proposals that appropriately scope the initiative and secure funding and management support

In this Practitioner course, you'll become a business case professional able to apply the Five Case Model to a real project.
