Investment Logic Mapping

This course is delivered in two online sessions via Teams (9.00am – 12.00pm on Wednesday 28 May and 9.00am 12.30pm on Friday 30 May).

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.

Course Content

The course is held online, and comprises two, four-hour sessions over two days.  It commences with a description of and need for the ILM approach, and progresses through each of the problem, benefit, strategic intervention and solution phases of a typical ILM development.

Who Should Attend?

The course is aimed at participants from central and local government agencies and authorities who are responsible for development or approval of business cases seeking investment funding.

ILM is also used to focus the thinking to develop an organisation’s strategic plan and Statement of Intent (SOI) and the development of Long-Term Plans (LTP).

Anyone working in these areas will benefit from a better understanding of the ILM process and its application at strategic, enterprise and initiative levels within their organisation.
