Business Case Development
What typically happens...
Organizations want to make decisions based on the right information. However decisions usually get made either too quickly or with insufficient information. This can result in a chain of events leading to an initiative/project being struck, new program, or new product line being established for which there is no documented rationale for the decision, or worse, the wrong decision is made.
How we can help...
Through a facilitated approach Curran Consulting can either assist your staff or, on your behalf, develop a structured business case. We develop recommendations based on the strategies, benefits, risks, and financial impact of the alternatives presented. The outcome of this type of service is a structured analysis and assessment of the ‘right information’ bringing clarity to help you make the ‘right decision’.
We can offer experience based on:
- Producing 40+ business cases supporting client decisions ranging from $50k to $500m for new products, new lines of business, buildings, technology and organizational change.
- Developing a business case template and set of support tools that became the standard for Alberta provincial government.
- Developing a business case training course and rolling it out to over 1000 individuals across several organizations in Canada and Europe.
"... They spend considerable time learning the issues in advance and focusing on the desired outcomes to ensure the highest quality product at the end of the session. ...they were involved in the preparation of the Government business case template and the training of several hundred members of the Public Service. I have used them for a number of tasks in the past 4 years and have never been disappointed in the effort and product. I found them to be a ton of fun, hard working and innovative in their approach to getting the absolute best out of groups."
