Building a state government business case built to withstand scrutiny
The context
State policing agency. A major operational capability required a full long-form investment business case prepared to state government guidelines — rigorous enough to stand up to central-agency scrutiny.
What we did
- Developed the full long-form business case to the state template and guidelines
- Options analysis, financial modelling and risk assessment
- Iterated the case with agency stakeholders across successive drafting rounds
- Supported subsequent phases of the program
The results
- Submission-ready long-form business case
- Evidence base and options analysis withstanding central review
- Multi-phase engagement continued beyond the initial case
