How to build an intranet business case

Writing a business case for your intranet can help you get buy-in from senior management and the budget to proceed with a project.

But there’s a lot that goes into calculating the costs and benefits. You’ll need to know what your stakeholders care about and craft compelling stories that bring the benefits of a new intranet to life.

Our step-by-step guide to building an intranet business case will help you develop an intranet vision backed up by data and stories that you can share with others.
