In this assignment students will undertake a review of an existing Business Case document and
prepare a report on their analysis of the success/ failure risks of each element of the Business
Case.
It is anticipated that students will analyze the business case in the context of the 9 elements in
the Business Model Canvas Template. A SWOT analysis of each element will form the basis of
the analysis.
The report will be a professional style report, suitable for formal submission to the business
concerned and for their subsequent use in discussions with a variety of important
stakeholders as part of a process to modify their company Business Case.
It is anticipated that students will contact a local business (or a business with whom they
already have a relationship) and undertake the analysis on their documentation providing
significant value to the business concerned. Students are expected to use their own resources
to identify a suitable business.
In the event that a student fails to be able to identify a real business that will allow them
access to their business case documentation it will be acceptable to use a Sample Business
Case downloaded from the internet.
Each student will use a different Business Case (no sharing of documentation will be allowed).
