In this comprehensive guide by Lawcadia<\/a> and LEX360<\/a>, you\u2019ll discover 10 principles for crafting a compelling business case, empowering legal teams and influencing stakeholders.

Enacting change within an organization is challenging, so it may not be surprising to hear that there is substantial evidence to assert that \u201cmore than 70% of all organizational change initiatives fail\u201d.

\nThis alarming statistic also aligns with The Standish Group\u2019s 2020 CHAOS report<\/a>, which estimates that only 29% of software projects are considered successful.

\nFortunately, there is a plethora of research and case studies that support best practices for successful project outcomes and point to goal-setting and stakeholder buy-in as crucial. Notably, these can be achieved with the preparation of a well-drafted business case.

\nSo, if your legal department wants to succeed with an initiative, whether that be a strategic project, sourcing technology you desperately need, garnering additional resources, or seeking investment for a panel review, then a compelling and robust business case will be required.

\nIf you are overwhelmed by the idea of a business case and having to \u2018pitch\u2019 for what you need, then this guide is for you. We will provide tips, steps and practical examples of how to design and deliver a strong and persuasive business case and successfully engage with your stakeholders.
