Our specialised team is highly experienced in delivering business cases that align with Commonwealth and state government strategic investment strategies. Our services include comprehensive CPA® accredited cost-benefit analysis and financial modelling, end-to-end benefits analysis, and well-supported preferred option statements.
With a strong focus on Australian Commonwealth and state government business cases, our dedicated consulting team applies a structured approach to ensure that government department and agencies adopt global best practices as part of their business cases. We assist organisations and governments in initiating, establishing, assuring, and launching business cases using lean business case development methods, while maintaining alignment with organisational standards, and in the case of governments, respective Treasury investment standards.
Our business case consulting team ensures a controlled business case initiation by analysing and synthesising key artifacts, defining the scope of a specific business case, defining roles and responsibilities, starting the project-on-a-page correlation, initiating the product register development, and developing a high-level schedule for the first delivery tranche(s).
Our time-boxed approach accelerates the business case process through a series of workshops and refinement sessions. We begin with an all-hands kick-off workshop, followed by in-depth discussions with project leads to refine the project-on-a-page, product register, and initial schedule. Finally, we deliver an executive playback session to summarise our findings and key recommendations.
We collaborate closely with the business case owner to finalise the framing of the business case, which includes defining and agreeing upon the critical elements for success. We then work together to populate these agreed-upon elements, building out the business case to include products, CPA® accredited cost-benefit analysis and financial analysis, any piloting outputs, benefits analysis, and a preferred approach or option. This comprehensive process ensures that the business case is well-structured, informative, and compelling.
Our team facilitates a comprehensive handover process to ensure a seamless transfer of ownership for the developed business case. This process includes a formal workshop where we provide detailed guidance and support to the business team, equipping them with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively manage and utilise the business case. We also conduct a thorough walkthrough of the business case, explaining its key components, assumptions, and implications in a clear and concise manner. This ensures that the business team has a complete understanding of the business case and is well-prepared to take ownership and drive its implementation.
