Business Case Development

Business cases describe investment opportunities so that decision makers can make informed choices about whether to fund them. Often they fall far short of expectation and are shelved once approved. Research shows that failing programmes rarely have strong business cases. It’s important to select the right business investments and to make sure a project realises its anticipated benefits once implemented. A compelling business case significantly improves the chances of realising the project benefits as it sets the strategic direction for the project and can be used to engage stakeholders and lock-in their commitment to project success.

Ripple will manage the business case process to: gain commitment from stakeholders through collaborative engagement; ensure alignment to strategic objectives; focus on the business change that is being delivered (not the technology solution) and provide a thorough assessment of the benefits to be realised. Ripple will also work with senior management to define ongoing reporting metrics and controls to ensure that the Business Case remain a living document that is embedded within the projects governance.
