IED CPD Online: Business case development including Green Book

13 Mar 2023 - Online

Important - this is a series of 3 webinars each running for 90 minutes on the 13 - 16 March 2023.

Run by the Institute of Economic Development Executive Director, Nigel Wilcock.

This is an introduction to the development of business cases for the public sector – and how to avoid the five cases model kicking the enthusiasm out of proposed projects. The course will consider:

• The strategic outline case

• The outline business case

• The full business case

The course will consider the level of detail required in each case and the proportionality of the case versus the size of the public sector contribution.

The course will then use real examples to work through the requirements of:

• The Strategic Case

• The Economic Case

• The Commercial Case

• The Financial Case

• The Management Case

The course will also consider how project alternatives are worked through and also how the economic outputs are calculated.

The course will include the latest thinking on the HM Treasury change to Green Book guidance current at the time of the session. We will also update participants on how Green Book is applicable to latest funding programmes.

Attendance is open to both IED members and non IED members.
