Identify the “affected and involved” and develop support– Senior Management / The Economic Buyer…involved– The Current or Future Owner….affected– Technology Partners….involved– The Customer(s)….affected
Maintain your position as an agnostic soldier Provide data to supplement your gut Leverage:
– Fear of competitive disadvantage.– Worst case scenarios– Guilt by association: ”now that you know about this problem…”

The 10 Steps to JustificationThe 10 Steps to Justification
1. Define the real task at hand
2. Define the planning horizon
3. Define your objectives based on your “Realization”
4. Specify the alternatives
5. Estimate the cash flows for each alternative
6. Specify the interest rate
7. Compare the alternatives
8. Perform sensitivity analysis
9. Select the best alternative
10. Check your results
11
1. Identify Your 1. Identify Your RealReal Task Task
“To Protect and Serve”
Your task is NOT to justify theproject, it is to make the BEST use of your company’s money.
You’ve GOT to be willing to walk away.
12
2. Define Your Planning Horizon2. Define Your Planning Horizon
Factors to Consider– Short term thinking kills companies. It is entirely possible to become
so efficient that you go out of business.
– Long term thinking kills companies in tough times.

Factors to Consider– Your vision gets worse as you age.
Proposal:– Study the rate of change in your environment
• Will the features of a new 2003 DVD player matter in 2020?
– Compare the life spans of the alternatives and evaluate the overlap.– 10 years?

5. Estimate Cash Flows for Each Alternative5. Estimate Cash Flows for Each Alternative
Identify the complete cost of doing the project– Initial investment
• Include labor and expenses of your company staff
– Cost to cover the gap between today and completion– Long term costs of ownership and use
• Do these costs change over time?• How do economic changes influence these costs (inflation)?
Determine what it will cost you to do something else…or nothing.– Do these costs change over time?– How do economic changes influence these costs (inflation)?– Will there be other subtle investments required later?
Can you increase revenue with this investment? Make intangibles tangible
27
Back to our ExampleBack to our Example
28
Determining Real Cost Benefits - ExampleDetermining Real Cost Benefits - Example
Figure out what time frame you care about– At what time will the investment results and your current situation
become indistinguishable? ( At what time will your new snowblower be in the same shape as your current snowblower?)
– When does the cost-of-ownership and revenue data become fuzzy?– 10 years?
29
Determining Real Cost Benefits - ExampleDetermining Real Cost Benefits - Example
Identify the complete cost of doing the project– Buying the 14hp Sears 2WD 2-stage blower $2,200– Will need a shop rebuild once in 10 years $
210– Oil changes the other years 9 x $30 = $ 270
TOTAL $ 2,680
30
Determining Real Cost Benefits - ExampleDetermining Real Cost Benefits - Example
Determine what it will cost you to do something else…or nothing.– Need to hire the kid around the corner
when it’s broken. 4 x $30 x 10 years = $ 1,200– Will need shop maintenance every 3 years
$210 x 3 $ 630
– Oil changes the other years 7 x $30 = $ 210– Auger will last 1 more year $ 230– Burns 1qt oil per month $2 x 5 mo x 10 yrs $ 100
TOTAL $ 2,370
31
Determining Real Cost Benefits - ExampleDetermining Real Cost Benefits - Example
Can you increase revenue with this investment?– Son can clear neighbor’s driveway 10 x $30 = $ 300– Can sell the old one to your friend at work $
60
TOTAL $ 360
32
Determining Real Cost Benefits - ExampleDetermining Real Cost Benefits - Example
Make intangibles tangible– The effect of morale:
If you are not screaming about the old snowblowerwhen you come in the house, your wife will not beirritated with you and may cook you dinner insteadof demanding that you take her out to dinner to compensate for your bad attitude. 10 years x 2 times x $30 ea. Save: $ 600
– Competitive advantage
Your neighbor will be very jealous Priceless
TOTAL: $ 600
33
Determining Real Cost Benefits - ExampleDetermining Real Cost Benefits - Example
Net Result– Investment - $ 2,680
– Plus money made + $ 360
– Plus the intangible savings + $ 600
TOTAL COST - $ 1,720
– Do nothing cost - $ 2,370
NET SIMPLE DIFFERENCE + $ 650
34
What Did We Miss?What Did We Miss?
How does the effect of the economy impact cost?– Does the cost of oil changes go up every year?– Will your son raise his prices?
Will time impact the volume or frequency of costs?– If you lose a quart of oil per month now, will it be more over time?
What is the lost investment opportunity for the $2,200?– At 8%, in 10 years it would be $ 4,700!
35
6. Specify the Interest Rate6. Specify the Interest Rate
This will account for the effect of inflation Does NOT account for the change in frequency or
volume of a cost item. Tie to:
– Historical Trends in your field– An accepted index (CPI?)– A fixed number that you can explain away in the future
36
7. Compare the Alternatives7. Compare the Alternatives
You have 2 choices...
– A Beauty Contest
A vs. B vs. C vs. D
– A Control Scenario Comparison
A vs. B A vs. C A vs. D
}Less likely to be hypnotized intofocusing on the differences betweenthe challengers. Compare to astable control Alternative.
37
Forgetting the Objectives When ComparingForgetting the Objectives When Comparing
I can’t be bothered by some crazy salesman,I’ve got a battle to fight!!!
38
8. Perform Sensitivity Analysis8. Perform Sensitivity Analysis
Adjust– Rates– Interest rates– Annual change in frequency and volume of a cost item
Perform “What if” Scenarios– Interject periodic unplanned events– Revenue opportunities– Intangibles bear fruit
Watch Your Output– Are the categories of influences balanced?– Is the change in time smooth or drastic?– Does it make sense?
39
9. Select the Best Alternative9. Select the Best Alternative
Is This a “Have To”?……….
Intangibles Override ROI?– Market Position– Future Interface & Integration
What’s the ROI?– Payback Method (months)– IRR (%)– NPV ($)
Compare to Other Uses for That Money

The 7 Deadly Sins of Failed JustificationThe 7 Deadly Sins of Failed Justification
Not accounting for the costs of not conducting the
project.
Assuming all costs are one-time or recurring and
ignoring random periodic costs.
Looking only at costs not potential income opportunities.
Ignoring salvage and resale values.
Blowing off the intangibles. Misunderstanding the effect of the economy. Confusing the change in volume and frequency of cost
with the inflation of costs.
