DESCRIPTION

This product (Business Case Prioritization Guide) is a 14-slide PPT PowerPoint presentation slide deck (PPTX), which you can download immediately upon purchase.

The Business Case is an important tool for both justifying a project (which necessitates a capital budgeting decision) and assessing its performance.

One of the most important challenges that organizations face today is how to prioritize their strategies, their objectives, their projects, and their day-to-day activities. Organizations with the strongest focus on prioritization outperform the competition. Project prioritization is the foundation for successfully implementing projects. It's where you align your projects to strategy. It's where you identify and eliminate waste. Poor prioritization leads to project failure and, ultimately, missed business goals. Organizations that fail to properly prioritize typically end up with too many projects. This reduces the efficiency of your team and increases project failure rates.

The Business Case Prioritization Guides outlines:
1. How to create a consistent opportunity prioritization matrix, to help prioritize the improvement options for an organization.
2. Content that can be used to support client discussions that can be selected and tailored based on the situation.

The guide delves into the general approach of prioritizing opportunities, breaking it down into four essential sections. It starts with identifying opportunities and aligning them to projects, followed by selecting the appropriate prioritization format. The third section focuses on estimating the benefits of projects, incorporating a thorough cost-benefit analysis to support business case development. The final section describes various prioritization tools and their critical aspects, illustrated with practical examples.

The PPT also includes a detailed complexity chart to categorize projects based on complexity and benefit. This chart helps in classifying initiatives into four main categories: Proceed now, Long term, Implement, and Hold. By evaluating projects on these parameters, organizations can effectively prioritize initiatives that offer the highest opportunity for improvement with the least complexity, ensuring optimal resource allocation and strategic alignment.
