What's a Business Case?
Everyone talks about the business case these days, but surprisingly few really know what that means. Not everyone has a grasp on the full business case definition:
The business case is an analysis, designed to produce two kinds of results. A successful case delivers
- Forecasts. The case asks "What happens if we take this or that action?" The case answers with predicted business costs, benefits, and risks.
- Proof. Reasoning and evidence make the case for choosing one action over another. The case shows why the chosen action is the better business decision.
Decision makers and planners rely on solid business case analysis to build the understanding and confidence they need to take action. They need credible forecasts, but they also need trustworthy proof they are choosing the best course of action.
Case Builder Beware!
The internet today is awash with books, training, and templates promising to help you answer the "What happens?" question. Most provide little more than a few cost and revenue forecasts for your proposed action or investment. Know that forecasts alone are not a business case!
To achieve credibility, accuracy, and practical value in real-world business, your case must deliver clear answers to other questions as well: Is funding your proposal a good business decision? Will we really see these results? Can we expect significant non-financial impacts? And, which risks should we know about? Business case proof is Better and defensible only when case builders address all the questions.
Nevertheless, most of the case-building resources available are blind to this need and cannot answer credibly. Case builder beware! In business today, real-world managers ask all the questions, and they expect answers they can trust.
