Gaining Buy-In Winning over your decision makers and internal stakeholders is imperative to getting a budget item for your project.

Keep the ultimate goals of your organization and leaders in mind as you work toward presenting a business case. Prepare a Business Case What are your goals? Productivity? Personal ROI? Profit? Human capital? Constructing a compelling business case starts with defining expected business outcomes. Remember, when defining the direction of your program, you should focus on the people in your organization and their success in a new mobile work environment.

Be prepared to answer and discuss all of the questions that have come up in your research. A telework or hoteling program can propel your organization and your workforce when all the steps are executed fully. 5 4 3 2 1 $
