These tools are designed to give L&D specialists and HR professionals the confidence, evidence base, and practical steps to make the case for investing in skills and learning. The tools are structured as a flexible pathway, and include:

  • A “Pathway on a page”, summarising how the pathway works and how to use it
  • A “Choose your route” guide, to help you decide where you are right now and where to start.
  • Three clear stages for building your case, made up of practical tools to download, use, edit, and keep.
  • A time estimate for using each tool – so that you can plan the work in short, manageable chunks
  • Worked examples at the end of each tool, showing how to adapt your approach depending on the situation you are addressing.

The tools are built to use in real organisations, including small ones, where the success of a business case often lives in conversations and relationships, not just documents. The tools help you work you through practical, meaningful actions you can start today, progress step-by-step, and build on with every business case you deal with.
