Better Business Cases™ has been developed by HM Treasury and the Welsh government. It is a systematic and objective approach to all stages of the business case development process. It sits alongside, and complements, HM Treasury’s Green Book guidance and is based on the ‘Five Case Model’ – the UK government’s best practice approach to planning spending proposals and enabling effective business decisions.
The UK Government method of approach to preparing a Business Case is internationally accepted as ‘Best Practice’ and is gaining momentum within government and the private sector.
Our highly regarded Practitioner and Integrated courses are structured so that the Practitioner exam is taken in the classroom directly after the training element (as per Foundation but at the end of the week). We prefer this approach to the post course online exam booking system as it ensures that the course content is fresh in the mind and enables delegates to leave having completed both the course and examination.
Reviews:
February 2017: “My objective for coming on the course was to build a better understanding of constructing a solid business case and I achieved just that.”
The Better Business Cases Programme is relevant to anyone who writes or reviews business cases in the public or private sector, from Junior staff to CEO level.
The course will help you to write a more succinct and professional business case, with greater chance of securing the necessary approval, funding and support for change initiatives.
Suitable for any organisation seeing the need for a more standardised and controlled approach to preparing a Business Case. If adopted, this approach can lead to a reduction in unnecessary spending and an improved decision-making process.
The Foundation examination requires two days of formal instruction and runs from Monday to Tuesday.
A further 1.5 days of formal instruction is required for the Practitioner examination (Weds / Thurs). The exam is on Thursday afternoon (usually 2pm). Delegates must have achieved a 50% pass in the Foundation exam to be eligible to sit the Practitioner exam.
Candidates for this course are automatically enrolled for the official Better Business Cases Foundation & Practitioner examinations and the cost is included in the course fee.
A pre-course study pack is sent out by email upon receipt of payment. This represents approximately 12hrs work in the form of exercises and reading.
For delegates wanting to take Better Business Cases as part of the Success Series, ‘Success in Better Business Cases’ should be booked. The Bristol Management Success Series gives our delegates the option to work towards a CMI Level 7 (MBA-level) Award at no additional cost to the chosen qualification. All delegates using ELC funding should note that if they select this option, they are required to attempt the Level 7 Award, which involves an element of additional independent study and completion of one assignment of c. 3,500 words, in order to satisfy ELCAS that they have completed the course.
“Having left the military in 2013 after 23 years, I am now a Director in four businesses. BMC’s Executive Management programme provided an excellent grounding for my new career in the commercial sector and is a must for anyone starting their own business after life in the forces.”
“I recently undertook the PRINCE2 Practitioner Course after completing the PRINCE2 Foundation in March 2014. I have now passed the PRINCE2 Practitioner and would like to credit Gary McGaffney with the way he makes the material come to life and a difficult subject easy to digest and translate to the real world – he is very helpful and supportive. This course will help me in my current role of PMO Lead for Digital Policing, especially around Risks / Issues / Exceptions / Business Cases.”
“I have just started a new job as School Business Manager and have already used my learning from the Human Resource Management module several times. My attendance on the course was seen at my interview as a sign of dedication to my move into a new sphere of employment and I also believe that the Accounting for Non-Accountants course was a deciding factor in my appointment.”
“I’ve just received confirmation of my results from my PRINCE2 Practitioner and Foundation course. Both of them were passes. I’d just like to thank you for helping me pass this course. It means a whole different world for myself when I leave the army.”
