Fund Innovation with a Minimum Viable Business Case
Full business cases are for scaling, not for starting.
Book This Workshop
Trying to build a full business case before taking the minimum viable approach can lead to:
- Inaccurate costs and benefits.
- Wasted time and investment.
- Missing out on approval for your project(s).
Adopting the minimum viable business case approach will lead to:
- More accurate benefit and cost projections.
- An increase in cancellations for bad projects.
- An increase in projects delivered in scope, on budget, and on time.
