Concept Proposal Document

You can use a Concept Proposal Document to identify the need or opportunity to improve a business function by highlighting where strategic goals are not being met or performance can be improved. The Concept Proposal should demonstrate that this is a worthwhile investment and identify potential impacts on systems, staff, and operations.

  • Highlight where strategic goals can be realized
  • Justify why this proposal should be endorsed
  • Explain the rationale behind the nominated products/services
  • Show how the proposal aligns with the Strategic Plan
Here's are seven steps to help you build your Concept Proposal.
1. Context – Discuss the business drivers that triggered this document.
2. Investment – Identify the type, timing and source of investment required for this proposal.
3. Impact – Describe the potential impact the proposed solution may have on a technical, operations, and human resource level.
