Description:
We welcome you to join the first event in our Business Case Festival. The Business Case Festival takes you on a deeper dive into each of the cases in the Five Case Model as well as engagement in your business cases. Each session will provide you with a greater understanding of the key elements of the relevant case, highlighting Green Book guidance and industry good practice. It is aimed at practitioners within the Town who will be preparing or managing your business cases.
This webinar will focus on the Strategic Case and how it can be successfully developed, drawing on recent Government guidance and best practice. One of the key outcomes of the recent HM Treasury Green Book review was a greater focus on the Strategic Case. Ultimately this Case should set out the rationale for change, ensuring alignment of the intervention to the drivers for change (economic, social, environmental), and local and national policy. The Strategic Case should position the type of interventions and options for further assessment in the other four cases.
This webinar will explore the Strategic Case in more detail, and it is advised that those that are less familiar with business cases watch the recording of our Introduction to Business Cases webinar prior to attending this webinar. This recording will provide you with a base level understanding of business cases.
This will be a LiveStream event, and there will be plenty of time for Q&A. It will be recorded for those who cannot attend during the session.
