BUSINESS CASE DEVELOPMENT PPT SLIDES

Key Causes of Failures and Success Rate Insights

This PPT slide highlights a significant issue in project execution: only about 35% of projects meet their original goals and deliver the expected business value. The visual emphasizes this gap by contrasting success and failure rates, with a notable 65% failure rate. The core message suggests that a majority of projects fall short due to various root causes.

On the right, the slide lists primary reasons for failures, including unclear objectives, poor data quality, lack of stakeholder engagement, overly optimistic assumptions, inadequate risk management, weak financial planning, and strategic misalignment. Each cause is briefly explained, pointing to common pitfalls that undermine project success. For instance, vague goals can lead to misdirection, while poor data hampers decision-making.

The absence of stakeholder involvement can result in lack of support, and unrealistic expectations often cause disappointment. The slide underscores that these issues collectively contribute to the high failure rate, implying that addressing these areas could improve project outcomes.

For potential buyers, this document offers insights into the common pitfalls and their causes, providing a foundation for developing strategies to enhance project success rates. It signals the importance of clear objectives, robust data, stakeholder engagement, realistic planning, and risk management.

The visual and textual elements work together to reinforce the urgency of tackling these issues to improve project delivery and business value realization. This slide is a useful diagnostic tool for assessing project health and identifying areas for intervention to reduce failure rates and boost success.

Structured 3-Phase Approach for Evaluation and Prioritization

This PPT slide outlines a structured, three-phase approach embedded within a comprehensive Business Case Toolkit, designed to guide project evaluation and prioritization over 2 decades of refinement. The first phase, Project Description, emphasizes understanding the initial context through key elements like the situation, challenges, and proposed solutions. It also covers defining objectives, performance metrics, scope, team composition, key activities, and risk mitigation strategies—elements critical for setting a solid foundation.

Moving into the second phase, Project Assessment, the focus shifts to evaluating strategic alignment, value, and ease of implementation. These 3 factors are visually represented in a Venn diagram, highlighting their interconnectedness. Strategic alignment ensures the project supports overarching business goals, while value assesses potential benefits. Ease of implementation considers practical considerations, such as resource requirements and complexity. The integration of these dimensions helps prioritize initiatives that are not only aligned and valuable, but also feasible.

The third phase, Project Prioritization, appears to involve a scoring or ranking system, possibly a heat map, to categorize projects based on their assessed attributes. The colored cells suggest a method for visualizing priority levels or risk, enabling decision-makers to focus on initiatives with the highest strategic fit and manageable execution.

Overall, this slide offers a clear, repeatable process for systematically analyzing projects, ensuring alignment with strategic goals, and making informed prioritization decisions. It underscores the importance of a disciplined, data-driven approach to project selection, which is essential for optimizing resource allocation and maximizing impact.
