In this webinar, we’ll explore how to develop a compelling business case which will secure an investment for change. Taking your vision and ideas for a digital project and turning it into reality can be truly transformative, however the work it takes to get to this stage shouldn’t be underestimated.

Business Cases can be a challenge to write, and they are more than just a form filling or ‘painting by numbers’ exercise. Getting it right involves a lot of skills – from persuasive writing and budget management, to seeing the bigger picture as well as the specific project deliverables. It’s not just a document of numbers, it tells the journey of your project.

We’ll explain key strategies for making a compelling argument to stakeholders, aligning digital initiatives with business goals, and demonstrating the value of innovation. We’ll also take a deep dive into practical strategies for translating your vision into actionable plans, setting achievable goals and aligning your team to achieve buy-in.

Whether you’re a business leader, digital strategist, familiar or new to business case writing, this webinar will provide you with the tools to move from concept to reality with tips and refreshers along the way, so you get the solid foundations right for your digital project.
