Business Case Development
In positions of public or commercial
responsibility, organisations must now decide and justify how to
use their budget, people, technology and time to best effect. As
government and industry look to achieve ever-greater efficiencies
and value-for-money, establishing an informed, considered and
robust business case for capability acquisition or equipment
procurement is therefore an essential task in achieving the initial
decision to proceed.
VEGA's approach Business Case Development
VEGA is experienced in providing independent
advice and project support to help organisations develop business
cases, and can help articulate, understand and resolve the
complexity behind making or challenging a business case.
With an established track record across the
public and commercial sectors, VEGA works with clients to consider
the options available to them and identify the business benefits of
each approach.
VEGA provides a range of outputs which help
clients gain much-needed confidence in their major decisions. These
incorporate:
- Executive documentation – developing the business argument from
the desired capability, through the technological fit, to
through-life management requirements
- Cost Operational Effectiveness and Investment Appraisal (COEIA)
– compare the different trade-offs scenarios for cost, capability
and programme management
- The five case model – for business case approval in the
Department of Health and other public bodies
- Procurement strategy – identifying the optimum purchase route
(single source, prime, multiple contracts, competitive
tender, PPP / PFI , incremental acquisition,
etc.)
- Change management – establishing the high-level migration
strategy including people, knowledge, integration and interim
management objectives
- Continuity planning – considering how the acquisition process
impacts the organisation, planning to protect business as usual,
and for contingency, in case something fails
- Market testing – exploring the ability and desire of the
supplier market to support the chosen approach, and refining the
plan accordingly
