Better Business Cases™

Why Better Business Cases?

A business case is the gateway to any project or initiative that requires stakeholder or board approval. It is imperative to capture relevant information, display it in a logical way and maintain the right tone to increase the chance of business case success.

From a company perspective, it can be very useful to have a standardised approach to your business case format. This is particularly pertinent if your business cases are reviewed by senior leaders, board members or external stakeholders. A standardised approach is also important as many employees continue to work remotely due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Many business cases are designed to present a rationale for securing funding to undertake a project. So the power of a standardised, well presented overview of the potential value a project could deliver cannot be overstated! A Better Business Cases accredited course is the best way to standardise and strengthen your company’s approach to creating robust business cases.

The Five Case Model

The Five Case Model is a method of creating better business cases that is recommended by the UK government. It is a structured and standardised format for constructing business cases. In a government sense, The Five Case Model is usually used for securing funding to proceed with large scale projects in the Public Sector. This includes building roads, improving infrastructure and advancing IT services for the public.

However, The Five Case Model lends itself to business cases for small scale projects too. In fact, any company can follow this format to achieve a better chance of business case success.
