The only ideas that get funded are the ones that fund themselves. -- some CFO

As a visionary who wants to drive technological change within your organization, you'll need to build a business case for the investment. This might sound like a lot of work, but it doesn't have to be. Regardless of where you sit within the organization, it also creates an opportunity for you to demonstrate broader reach and impact on the organizational goals -- whether those are improving time to market, throughput, or profitability. Visionaries who can make an impact and articulate how that impact moved the business metrics get promoted. They also have great metrics to put on their resumes as they look to grow their careers. In this article, we'll provide a step-by-step guide to building an opportunity analysis to justify a pilot and then converting that into a realized value study to justify continued investment and organizational expansion.
