“To win support for the development of a new product, requires a written business-case which
justifies why the product should be developed and brought to market”
Why Choose this Training Course?
Development of new products is essential, but it can be very expensive and it also involves risk. A new product should only be developed if it can be proven that it has a good chance of surviving and thriving in the market.
So to justify the development and launch of a new product, requires a written business-case that takes into account the opportunities and challenges that currently exist, or might arise, in the market.
Anyone who is required to write, present, or contribute to, a written business-case for a new product, should attend this AZTech training course. It will equip you with the insight to address the right issues in the market and use them to justify your proposals in a written business-case.
You will learn how to research the business-case, structure it and write it.
This AZTech training course will feature:
- A process to construct a business-case
- How to identify the market factors that must be considered
- Defining a strategy for the business-case
- Advice on writing and presenting the case
- How to win support for the case
What are the Goals?
By the end of this AZTech training course you should be able to:
- Understand the market challenges that new products face
- Recognise the essential market factors that underpin a business-case
- Judge the product idea in terms of potential market success
- Describe the elements of the case

- Justify a business-case for a new product
Who is this Training Course for?
This AZTech training course is for senior managers, middle managers, marketing executives and anyone else who wants to learn how to create and present a business-case for a new product in Business-to-Business (B2B) markets and will greatly benefit:

- R&D managers and other executives involved in the new product development process

How will this Training Course be Presented?
This AZTech training course will be presented using a combination of formal presentations, discussions, role-playing and syndicated exercises. Video and case-studies will also be used.
