BETTER BUSINESS CASES – MAKING GOOD INVESTMENT DECISIONS
Robust business cases are crucial to making the right investment decisions. Without one, an organisation can struggle to communicate the benefit of an investment; how it will measure success; and how it will learn from the process.
Join Regan Hopkins as he looks at ‘Better Business Cases’ which are at the centre of the New Zealand Government’s staged decision-making process. He will present:
- The five case model
- How to plan effectively to prepare a Better Business Case
- When it is appropriate to use this business case model.

They'll explore the delicate balance of making necessary compromises while avoiding detrimental ones, including strategies for scenarios where there simply isn’t enough capacity to deliver your evaluation work program.
