Business Case Templates
Please note that this content is under development and is not ready for implementation. This status message will be updated as content development progresses.
The decision to implement AATP needs a positive business case to justify the investment. The purpose of this page is to provide a framework for business case development. We provide a generalised cost / benefit model and then discuss it's application to specific roles and industries. We also provide a separate cost benefit model and business case template for regulators.
Industry Cost Benefit Model
The high level model shown below breaks benefits into three categories and costs into two categories.
- Benefits accrue through increasing revenue and/or decreasing cost. Improved margins that result from that of course contribute to corporate value but there are also less tangible benefits at the corporate level such as brand reputation.
- Costs are incured through changes to production processes to acheive greater sustainability and the implementation of traceability & transparency systems to communicate that verifiable sustainabilty.
Actual benchmarks for benefits and costs by industry sector and goegraphic region will become increasingly available over time as AATP implementations progress.
