"The TakeAway Training Film Series" comprises short, practical training films providing managers, supervisors and staff with techniques, advice and ideas on some of the key areas of their job. The series which features 'talking head discussion' between psychologists Eve Ash and Peter Quarry, is designed for learning resource centres and management self-development. When the first titles in the series appeared People Management Journal said: '...one of the main selling points is that they firmly place responsibility for learning with the learner...They could be used either as stand-alone distance learning tools or as part of a training session. I am sure that any viewer will be able to take up their basic principles and apply them.' Many managers and employees often need to prepare and present a business case to senior personnel for approval. This can be a daunting task, particularly for the inexperienced. However, certain steps can save time, aid delivery and success rates. In this program, Eve Ash talks with Suzanne Dvorak about preparing a successful business case. The program explores: the business case; required skills; common mistakes; risks and timeframes; measuring success; and, handling rejection.
