Business cases are not a document. That is the wrong approach and the most common approach. A business case is the justification for acting on a recommendation and it ends with convincing management to act. Unless the recommendation is acted on, it is not a proper business case. That is what we teach.
The steps need to generate the business case and get people to act. You have seen us use this approach in every program and book. Now, it is fully documented for you.Ā Given the importance of Business case and Benefits tracking for our clients, we released a massive update of curated non-public guides within the Strategy Control Room (within Advanced Level membership) andĀ Center of Excellence:
