• Create a PowerPoint deck or a presentation using any method avail-

able to summarise the business case for the meeting with the sponsor

of the business case. We can use the business case templates discussed

in this chapter for it.

• Schedule meetings with the sponsor to get his approval first. Once

the sponsor has approved the business case, we need to schedule

workshops/meetings with other key stakeholders that are part of the

approval process.

• Once we have all approvals from stakeholders, most probably the last

step is to get approval from procurement and vendor management

teams in our organisation.

• Once the procurement and vendor management has approved the

business case, we can take our team for dinner to celebrate the launch

of the programme.

• We have now secured approval of our budget for the programme

launch.

• The next big steps are to execute the strategic programme, to deliver

the business outcomes and to create value for the business.

EXECUTION OF A BLOCKCHAIN BUSINESS CASE

Execution of the blockchain business case is the core of the whole process

of creating and getting business case approval. The main purpose of the

blockchain business case is to transform the existing baseline that show-

cased a problem to achieve the business outcomes creating the value for the

organisation. The main outcome for a business case is to deliver business

outcomes that are aligned to the strategic outcomes, assisting in accom-

plishing the mission and vision of the organisation.

The following are the steps and recommendations to execute the strategic

programmes as part of successful business case delivery.

Steps

• Hire a team that is fit for purpose. It is very important to hire an

appropriate team that encompasses skills and positive attitude and

that believes in the vision and mission of the organisation.

• Establish a leadership team who will sponsor and be accountable for

each strategic outcome of the programmes.
