The Business Case is No Longer Optional
Businesspeople everywhere are fast losing tolerance for management error, while demanding real accountability for decisions and actions. And, everywhere, the competition for scarce funds is increasing
No surprise, many business firms, governments, and non profits now require business case support for budget proposals, projects, product plans, capital acquisitions, and business investments of all kinds. They rely on business case analysis to
- Standardize proposal reviews.
- Provide objective criteria for choosing among competing proposals.
- Lower the risk of making regrettable funding decisions.
In brief, leaders and decision-makers rely on sound business case analysis to build the understanding and confidence they need to take action.
