The Better Business Cases approach was developed collectively by the New Zealand Treasury, Her Majesty’s Treasury (UK) and the Welsh Government to better support fully-informed and evidence-based decisions for Public spending. BBC does this by providing:

  • business case developers with easy access to a standard set of tools and techniques for developing robust, high-quality business cases that better meet the expectations of stakeholders, and
  • decision-makers with confidence and assurance that they are doing the right thing (business assurance), and in the right way (programme and project assurance).

Course Outline

This course contains a pragmatic and real-life approach developed from experience in developing business cases within New Zealand. Rather than sticking to theoretical guidance this course takes an informed, pragmatic approach applicable to a range of organisational contexts. Extensive hands-on exercises help anchor the learning.

Better Business Cases extends the traditional business case development approach by asking:

  • What is the underlying problem or opportunity we are trying to address?
  • How does this fit within organisational strategy?
  • Does this fit with or clash with other work we are doing within the organisation?
  • Have we taken the stakeholders with us on the journey and taken their suggestions on board?
  • Have we considered all the feasible options?
  • Does solution best balance benefits, cost and risks?
  • Are there suppliers who can deliver this and will the deal represent value for money?
  • Is the organisation setup to manage the project or programme successfully?
