A groundbreaking idea is just the beginning. To secure funding from investors, grant committees, or internal stakeholders, you need more than passion: you need a professional, convincing plan that answers their toughest questions. My Project Launchpad service is designed to build that plan. We transform your concept into a formal Project Brief, the foundational blueprint that gives decision-makers the confidence to invest.
A Project Launchpad is an essential tool for any project owner seeking investment. It acts as a single source of truth that demonstrates your project is not only a good idea, but also viable and well-managed.
We create an Outline Business Case, balancing the expected benefits against high-level costs and risks to prove your project is valuable.
We establish clear, measurable SMART objectives so funders know exactly what success looks like in tangible terms.
The brief gets your entire team, investors, and stakeholders on the same page with clear expectations for everyone.
By explicitly defining what is in and out of scope, we provide the ultimate defence against "scope creep" , showing funders you can maintain control.
To ensure we build this foundation correctly, I follow a proven, collaborative process designed to give you confidence and clarity at every step.
Before our main session, we prepare a baseline to make our time effective. I start by reviewing your initial request (the Project Mandate) to understand the core business driver , and you identify the key stakeholders crucial for success.
In this collaborative workshop, your vision takes shape. Together, we answer the most important questions a funder will ask:
We create the initial Outline Business Case to justify the investment.
We articulate the project's SMART objectives.
We define clear boundaries for what is in-scope and out-of-scope.
We draft the Project Product Description, detailing the final deliverable and your quality expectations.
The workshop output is transformed into a professional, actionable document.
Drafting your Project Launchpad
I consolidate all our findings, decisions, and discussions into a clear and concise Project Brief.
Review and Refine
I share the draft with you and your team for review. This is a crucial feedback loop to ensure the document perfectly captures our shared understanding.
Formal Approval
Once finalised, the Project Brief is formally approved, giving us a clear mandate to proceed with detailed planning, confident that we are all working towards the same goal.
Let me know, and I'd be happy to schedule a short walkthrough of a real Project Launchpad for you.
