Facilitating Effective
Business Cases

;

A short workshop-based engagement to collaboratively develop the business case for your project

 

Use expert IAG facilitators to quickly elicit and define the essential aspects of the project or epic needed to outline the rationale for approval and prioritization. All in as little as a few days or week.
The business case is an crucial component of the the business portfolio and project management process.

Making the case with a clear understanding of what the project is about, is what IAG has been doing for over twenty years.

IAG is known for quick and efficient facilitation, working collaboratively with our clients, and focusing on just what is needed to get the job done.

We will use industry best practices and proven techniques to create a solid business case. It may be a lean business case, a short-form lite business case, or a comprehensive and detailed document. It all depends on your needs — and we work with you to ensure we are all on the same page.

These are the principles and practices we have used successfully on over 1,500 projects. It does not have to be difficult. It doesn’t have to be complicated. It doesn’t have to take weeks. It’s what we do. Let us help you be successful on your next initiative or planning session.

How It Works

Lead the session(s) through a variety of structured exercises with focused outcomes.

An additional team member may also be engaged (on or off-site through video conferencing) to support the modeling, documentation, analysis, verification, and preparation of the business case.
“I  was very impressed how much was achieved in such a short time. It certainly helps to get everyone together at the table with such a professional facilitator. We should do this every time.”
