"the ideas we came up with seemed like the perfect solution for us... now all we needed was to be able to justify them based on real numbers, not pipe dreams"
The Challenge
Justifying change within your institution, whether organizational or technology-related, can be a complicated and oftentimes emotional process. Those in favor of the change tend to be generous with the assumptions and creative with the numbers while those opposed to it tend to do the opposite. Fear and uncertainty are common in this process since no one wants to be associated with a flawed business case that wastes resources and money.
