Case studies can be used for business growth in several ways. They can be used as a marketing tool to attract new clients by showcasing successful projects and solutions provided to past clients. They can also be used internally for training purposes, helping employees understand how to handle similar situations in the future. Additionally, they can be used to identify areas of improvement and develop strategies for future projects.

A case study can help in identifying strategic opportunities by providing a detailed analysis of past situations, decisions, and outcomes. It allows one to understand the context, challenges, and solutions that were implemented in a particular scenario. This understanding can then be used to identify similar opportunities in other situations or to devise strategies for future scenarios. Case studies also serve as proof of a successful track record, which can be beneficial in attracting future clients.

Client needs

In almost all cases, stakeholder needs can constrain potential solutions. But rather than seeing that as a limitation, use it to your advantage as a way to narrow down the focus. Use this gap analysis graph to compare the stakeholder or client's current status, and where it aims to be in the future. (Slide 4)

You can prove your impressive track record to future clients by showcasing your past successful projects, providing testimonials from satisfied clients, demonstrating your expertise and knowledge in your field, and offering a portfolio of your work. You can also provide case studies that detail how you've helped previous clients achieve their goals.

A case study template can help in improving client relationships by providing a structured way to showcase how your product or service has been beneficial to other clients. It can highlight the problem, the solution provided, and the results achieved, which can build trust and credibility with the client. It also allows for a clear and concise presentation of information, making it easier for the client to understand the value you bring.

Client Needs Gap Analysis

In this hypothetical scenario, technology advances at a much faster pace than the business's productivity. The gap between the two implies performance potential that the business can still capture, with the right strategy that is.

Industry analysis

SWOT analysis

Before any grand schemes for the future, first take a comprehensive look at the status quo. Specifically, current strengths and weaknesses that the business has, as well as any opportunity to capitalize on and any threats to watch out for.

These SWOT Analysis slides provide enough space to dig just a little deeper on any details the presenter needs to emphasize. Plus, it never hurts to supplement words with data. Near the right, plot any relevant metrics to prove the insights on the left. (Slides 7-10)

Company Analysis - SWOT

Porter's five forces

Now it's time to take a big step back and focus on the macro factors. No business exists in a vacuum, and industry and market changes can become either assistance or resistance. Porter's Five Forces is one of the most tried-and-true frameworks to help managers and analysts understand how a firm is positioned in its industry.

Porter's Five Forces

The five forces are already written out on the slide for you: supplier power, competitive rivalry, threat of new entry, buyer power, and threat of substitution. To use this slide, list out the elements that fall under each force. (Slide 15)

Strategy canvas

Another method of industry analysis is the strategy canvas, inspired by the Blue Ocean framework. This canvas plots the offering values of key competing factors of industry players on average, and of the firm you're strategizing for. (Slide 14)

It's important to understand which of these factors has the industry been competing on for a long time. Because those are the efforts you'd want to "eliminate" or "reduce". On the other hand, differentiate yourself in underserved areas. Allocate more resources to "raise" or "create" more values in these factors.

Issue tree

So what about actually solving the problem at hand? Many business problems are not only complex but also turn out to be the symptom rather than the root problem. This issue true visually organizes the thought process behind each problem. Instead of jumping between ideas in your own head, share this slide with your team mates and client to make sense of the ideas pipeline. To make it even simpler, each layer of the diagram can be presented as a "yes"/"no" problem until action items can be suggested in the end. (Slide 18)

Questions and answers

Yes, there are numerous case studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of using a stakeholder matrix in project management. The stakeholder matrix is a powerful tool that helps project managers identify and prioritize stakeholders based on their power and interest in the project. This allows for a more targeted and efficient communication strategy, ensuring that those with high power and interest are closely engaged, while those with low power and interest are monitored passively. This can lead to improved stakeholder management, smoother project execution, and ultimately, successful project outcomes.

Almost any company can benefit from using a stakeholder matrix, but let's take the example of a tech startup. A tech startup often has multiple stakeholders including investors, employees, customers, and partners. By using a stakeholder matrix, the startup can categorize these stakeholders based on their decision power and interest in the project. For instance, investors with high power and high interest need to be closely engaged and updated to ensure buy-in. On the other hand, partners who have little power and interest can just be passively monitored with little effort. This helps the startup to manage its stakeholders effectively and ensure the success of its projects.

Issue Tree

Key personnel

Stakeholder communications

Realistically, it's impossible to make everybody happy all of the time. So pick your battle. An essential part of a business case is to synergize the solution proposal with stakeholder demands. But not all stakeholders have equal footing.

This stakeholder matrix develops a communciations plan by categorizing and prioritizing stakeholders based on decision power and interest in the project. For example, those with both high power and high interest need to be closely engaged and updated to ensure buyins. On the other hand, those who have little power and interest can just be passively monitored with little effort. Under each stakeholder category, list any individual names, titles, or entities that apply. (Slide 20)

Main Actors and Stakeholders

Team capabilities

The assembly of a business case's project team is not only crucial for operational purposes, but also for skillsets and capabilities. The credentials and credibility of the team members are especially important when the case study is presented as a way to recruit future clients.

Team Contribution

Use this slide to showcase the your team players complement each other with their areas of expertise and task assignment. This way, stakeholders and clients can better understand how the work is being done and what each member brings to the table. (Slide 21)

Outcomes and post-mortem

KPIs and Deliverables

Last but not least, be sure to summarize the outcome of the case study. Hopefully your strategies lead to positive returns. But if not, this is a also a chance to conduct a post-mortem to understand what can be improved next time.

Financial Impact

Numbers speak volumes. So don't just say that your ideas were successful, actually show it with metrics such as financial impact, KPIs and deliverables, Net Promoter Score, just to name a few. (Slides 29-32)
