Introduction
Most senior Managers want the business professionals they work with to:
§ Understand what the business unit needs to guide its strategy
§ Know key metrics for the specific business unit
§ Be able to secure buy-in with the business unit on key metrics and the integrity of the data
§ Analyse and re-define a request for information to ensure the data requested truly answers the underlying needs
§ Summarise key points, based on key metrics, in presentation and conversation format
§ Speak and present in short/sharp/summary form
§ Think like business partners, not data-gatherers
Hence, the goal for business professionals is to make this transition efficiently and painlessly.
A business case can be made in various communication contexts from formal presentations to around a table, whilst having a coffee, to make a proposal, challenging a stand and getting approvals. It is about making a case. There are two aspects of case making, building and presenting but what is the difference? How we think about a case is different from how we talk about it.
