Building a Business Case for Your Customer Advisory Board
Are you considering launching a customer advisory board (or even hiring a third party to help you create and manage an advisory board)? If so, you’ll need to develop a business case for your customer advisory board. We've got a template for you.
Why build a business case for your advisory board?
A business case for customer advisor boards will enable you to justify and clearly communicate the reason, costs, risks, and benefits to the business.
Together with you, internal key stakeholders will review the pros and cons and the details before accepting, rejecting, amending, or postponing the proposal. If the stakeholders agree that the benefits of the customer advisory boards outweighs the investment, the business case helps you secure the funds needed.
Our business case for customer advisory board (CAB) template includes the following components:
- Why now? Background and business need
- Benefits to the company and clients
- Overview of participants, both internal key stakeholder and target customers
- Why partner with a third party
- Deliverables, Timeline, Budget & Next steps
