The art of the case study
Specify - Resist the urge to be vague and always quantify
Admiration – Choose an industry your industry admires
Realism – Err on the lower side of a range when you transpose
Adaptation – Do consider how an industry sector might compare
Lower limit – Use ‘at least’ rather than ‘up to’ to limit downside thought
Every case study is ‘farmers math’. Think of your proof
point like a working hypothesis.
4. Why it’s best
A value proposition is the solution to
your customer’s problem
Value of open data
How to stop boring people with open data
What is the problem that open data
alone can solve for your organisation?
What is the unique value of open data?
Open data unlocks greater value from your data.
Value no-longer comes from data itself but the products and services
that consume it. Access to more data enables greater value.
Also… Improved experience for your customers
Reduced friction in access to market
Increased productivity among workforce
Reduced costs
Smoother, more effective partnerships
Superior reach and brand awareness
Beneficial offer status in new markets
Stronger supply chain visibility
5. What next
Making ‘the ask’
Any good pitch, be it to a superior, a colleague or a group
should end with an action.
Without the action your audience will often forget or neglect the
area.
The ask needs to be immediate and proportionate. Your
audience should be able to say yes or no right there in the
room
Small, clear actions
Ensure that the ask is simple and small-scale
Keep the timeframe and impact clear
Make sure any budget is commensurate with returns
Deliver a 90 second pitch for support
Teams 2-4
1. Choose an audience
