Business Case Analysis

Proven decision support for meeting critical objectives
To get the most out of your scarce resources, you need credible, defensible and useful Business Case Analyses (BCA). MCR delivers with a proven approach to Business Case Analysis which relies on the strength of cost-benefit and economic analyses. This enables you to make effective investment decisions and comply with OMB business case analysis requirements. For example, we provide extensive Exhibit 300 (E300) support based on our in-depth understanding of the requirements and information OMB wants to capture. MCR’s proven expertise in developing core program planning documents, establishing an effective Program Baseline, and applying Earned Value Management combined with risk analysis helps ensure a defensible BCA and favorable scores from OMB.

Innovative process

1. Establish objectives and identify alternatives. MCR collaborates directly with you to develop a clear understanding of your program’s requirements. This allows us to easily identify and evaluate all of your options for achieving those requirements.
2. Determine methodology. We tailor a customized BCA process that addresses your program’s specific requirements and define the rules for analysis, laying the foundation for a strong E300 or other reporting and tracking mechanism.
   
3. Identify and estimate key benefits. MCR lists the potential benefits of every alternative and determines which are best for your program.
4. Analyze benefits and costs for all alternatives. We apply the customized process we developed in step 3 to determine total Return on Investment (ROI) for all of your program’s alternatives (evaluating both quantitative and qualitative benefits), ranking them in order of overall benefit for easy comparison.
5. Conduct risk and sensitivity analysis. Every cost-benefit analysis MCR conducts features a thorough risk assessment to show the potential impact of assumptions and specific conditions.
6. Produce conclusions and document process. MCR determines and recommends the best course of action for your organization to take, documenting the entire process in the format you require for future use.
