This is an overview course open to a diverse group of individuals who have a need to understand business case development and the value creation process for asset management, maintenance, and reliability. These skills are often required to justify projects and then to verify the benefits realized by the project. This is a two part process which begins with the development of a robust and defensible business case but also must include a value planning, creation, capture and documentation strategy. During this session we will discuss the elements of the business case, how to build the business case and how to create and execute a value capture plan, and how to communicate with senior management to obtain support and approval.
