This course is delivered in an online session via Teams (9am – 1pm on 11 and 13 March).
The Investment Logic Mapping (ILM) methodology is widely used to justify investment decisions, based on evidence and proof that the real problems are being addressed and expected benefits are real and measurable.
The ILM course introduces the ILM methodology and how it relates to New Zealand Treasury’s Better Business Case (BBC) framework. Attendees will gain an understanding of how an Investment Logic Map is assembled using critical thinking and how it is used to inform the Strategic and Economic Cases that underpin a business case.
Note: This course isn’t designed to support someone looking to become an accredited ILM Facilitator. It focuses on the objectives, tools, and process of the ILM.
