New Business Development - Services


 
 
The three key ASD support functions provided by the Business Development Branch are intended to help government identify, review and approve potential ASD projects, and provide clients with a business/financial point of view.

Opportunity Identification: is all about linkages within government. Working through the central agencies and client ministries as appropriate, we work to maintain relationships throughout the IM/IT1 community across government to ensure that ideas that have the potential to become an ASD initiatives are highlighted, and reviewed as quickly as possible.

Business Case Development: New project proposals come in all shapes and sizes, from back of the napkin ideas to full-blown business cases. In order to provide a quality review, we need to ensure there is enough information in your proposal to support a sound decision. If you need assistance building your IM/IT business case, we can assist clients with the development of conceptual plans (for projects over $50 million), business cases and other supporting documentation.

Proposal Review: The review process supports our dual mandate; for proposals with a scope of $20 million and over, we will work through your proposal to see if it has the potential to be a new ASD initiative. For projects under $20 million, we will run a quick check to see if it can be added in to one of our existing deals.
