This fully APMG accredited Better Business Cases Foundation course is specifically designed to help candidates develop their critical understanding of best practice in business case proposals - including deciphering terminology and understanding the logic behind prominent business principles.

In order to comprehend and review business cases, HM Treasury recommends that you possess accreditation through obtaining Better Business Cases Qualifications - hence Silicon Beach’s Better Business Cases Foundation course offers the opportunity to develop a grounded understanding of systematic business case development. Accredited by APMG and delivered by Internationally renowned BBC training instructors, the course provides you with the opportunity to acquire knowledge regarding the importance of thorough business case proposals, the Five Case Model, and strategic and tactical business decisions.

Working in accordance with the HM Treasury’s Green Book guidance, the course is intentionally based upon the Five Case Model - which is advised by the UK Government to be the desired-for best practice approach to staged-based business development, including planning, cost-effective spending proposals, and making efficacious business-grounded decisions. Therefore, understanding of business cases will be developed through a systematic and proven step-by-step formula, including:

  • Establishing change requirements - why is such a change necessary?
  • Clear objective setting - what is the anticipated end result of the change?
  • Consideration of the multifaceted elements that underpin a successful business change
  • Implementing the proposed change - how to deliver a successful initiative
