ROI-driven strategy
Building the business case
Today’s competitive business environment has required organizations to become more diligent about their IT investments. This has meant that business units must now compete for their share of a limited, and often shrinking, capital IT budget. Many of our clients face these challenges:
- Competing to secure an appropriate share of IT-related budget
- Proving the real-value (ROI) of an IT-related investment
- Prioritize IT-related investments based on the value delivered to the business
- Decompose complex IT programs into manageable components
- Deliver a growing portfolio of complex IT enabled initiatives
- Build consensus to allow ‘enterprise’ opportunities to emerge, rather than perpetuate silo'd thinking
- Deliver a visible and tangible impact to the business, not just delivering project milestones.
At PA, we have developed an end-to-end ROI-driven Strategy planning methodology for large complex IT-enabled programs. The approach not only articulates and proves the quantitative financial case, it builds ownership and buy-in across the organization and ensures that the program is setup to successfully deliver on the expected benefits.
The ROI-driven strategy methodology can be applied in whole or in part, as it seeks to answer common questions posed by a budgeting body.
- Why invest, or re-invest, in a particular IT System or Application? How will this investment further our business objectives?
- How much capital & expense investment is needed?
- Who is going to deliver these benefits and what resources are required – both internally and externally?
- What is the financial case (ROI)?
- How will the program be governed?
