How to Make a Business Case
Understanding the business case is the key to successfully selling your ideas at work. If you only have time to add one career or leadership skill to your tool belt this year, make it this one. Good business cases are the foundation of influencing up, down, and across your organization.
Learning this skill is the key to getting noticed and creating a reputation as a highly-promotable business genius.
This talk will focus on creating the business case you need to pitch ideas and strategic projects at work. We’ll cover:
- How managers make decisions on which projects to green light
- How to know if your idea is a great strategic opportunity or a no-go
- How to create the financial case for your project
- Understanding how risk & opportunity cost affect your chances of getting the go-ahead
The goal of this talk is to give you the tools to get an easy ‘yes’ on your proposals at work.
