Our global, diverse team of consultants is dedicated to assisting you in crafting a compelling business case that ensures optimal outcomes for your stakeholders.
A strong business case is pivotal in realizing viable projects and significantly contributes to achieving desired results. Essentially, it revolves around whether the financial aspects align. Does the proposed plan offer good value when considering all associated benefits, or would it be more prudent to allocate resources elsewhere?
Organizations, along with their stakeholders, navigate a intricate, interconnected web of environmental factors encompassing social, economic, political, regulatory, environmental, and technological uncertainties. These factors present both risks and opportunities that impact an organization’s ability to fulfil its core purpose and leverage its capabilities.
An impartial and resilient option assessment and evaluation process play a crucial role in facilitating effective infrastructure development and attracting investment.

Improve project performance

Liberated from immediate operational concerns, the business case process gains the capacity to adopt a comprehensive perspective on the organization's goals and external pressures. This enables the selected solution to effectively realize the desired outcomes. Beyond the conventional considerations of 'concrete and steel,' entities involved in infrastructure delivery play a pivotal role in shaping a future society characterized by prosperity, equity, and sustainability.

Unlock development by capturing the big picture

The core of evaluating a proposed solution against alternatives and the 'do nothing' scenario lies in the business case process. To accurately gauge the costs and benefits of a scheme, a broad, multicriteria analysis must be conducted, encompassing the economic, social, and environmental impacts of each option.

Expanding the scope of measures in the cost-benefit analysis beyond the immediate utility of new infrastructure often unveils previously overlooked options. Analysing all outcomes and their distribution can expose significant positive or negative effects on specific sub-groups or regions. Monetizing social outcomes using established guidelines provides a transparent and exhaustive measure of the true impact.

Five-case model framework

Business cases typically adhere to the iterative 'five-case model,' with each case receiving appropriate detail as the scheme proposal progresses.

The strategic case

What are the project objectives established by sponsors, funders, and the stakeholders they serve?

The economic case

Do the costs and benefits of the proposed solution offer superior public value compared to other options, including the 'do nothing' scenario?

The commercial case

Will the procurement and charging mechanisms of the proposed solution result in a viable, well-structured deal?

The financial case

Does the projected lifetime expenditure on the preferred option and its revenue generation present a fundable, affordable deal?
