What is Working with Business Cases
The decision-making about starting and continuing investments in changes through projects and programs can be substantiated by using a Business Case. A business case can also play an important role in actually realizing the benefits and evaluating change processes. In this training, we examine in a very practical way and based on a (fictitious) case the different ways in which business cases can be used.
Our trainers bring a wealth of practical experience to complement the theoretical concepts, offering real-world insights and best practices. This training will empower you with the skills to effectively utilize business cases in decision-making and benefit realization, ensuring your projects and programs are well-justified and successful.
