Purpose of the course

The Better Business Cases course will help individuals to understand the philosophy of the Five Case Model best practice approach to business case development.
The APMG-accredited course will delve into the tools and techniques to use in your organisation to increase the chances of launching successful change initiatives that deliver the desired benefits to cost within your organisation.

Benefits for you as an individual

Attending this course will enable you to apply the Five Case Model to a real project and will equip you with the tools and techniques you will need to become a subject matter expert in building better business cases with the full range of knowledge and skills at your fingertips. You will learn to work effectively with a team and to develop a strong business case for your projects and change initiatives and to effectively tailor the guidance to align with your organisational needs, increasing the chances of delivering a successful project.

Benefits for your organisation

Change initiatives often fail at the first hurdle as the business case fails to convince senior management of the return on investment. Creating effective business cases and spending proposals is therefore critical to the development of a comprehensive project implementation plan and securing funding and management buy-in.
