Investment Logic Mapping
Capturing and agreeing on the case for change for an investment is challenging. An Investment Logic Mapping (ILM) process can help to clarify the business problems and the expected benefits up front, before you start to think about solutions.
Our team includes some of New Zealand’s most experienced accredited ILM facilitators. Read more about the value of an ILM here and watch Karen explaining the ILM here.
Using the outputs of the ILM workshops we can also develop a Strategic Case on a Page, which captures the richness of the investment story and the case for change. It can be used as a communication tool for a wide audience and support investment prioritisation. See examples and read more about the Strategic Case on a Page here.

Many organisations struggle to find the right skills or sufficient resources internally to develop business cases confidently and well. Our experienced team includes consultants trained in the Treasury-endorsed Better Business Case methodology which is mandatory for high risk and/or large scale public sector business cases.
