The ultimate guide to building and presenting a business case
When People Teams are ready to roll out new programs (or request more budget for existing programs), presenting the business case to stakeholders can make otherwise powerful teams feel vulnerable and out of their element.
But we know efforts to foster a culture of employee appreciation are more important than ever.
We wanted to help you make building the business case simpler and more rewarding by sharing practical strategies across five stages: Starting your story, presenting the data, defining the goal, presenting the solution, making the pitch and outlining your plan.
Step One
Start your story
Illustrate the situation you mean to address and its effects on business performance.
Step Two
Present the data
Include tangible data points to put evidence toward your case.
Step Three
Define the goal
Where do you want to go? What does success look like?
Step Four
Present the solution
Include tangible data points to put evidence toward your case.
Step Five
Make your pitch
This is the time to sum up your proposal with a mission statement.
Step Six
Outline the plan
Show you’ve thought through implementation and adoption.
