Process

This is the process that a practitioner should follow to build this section of the business case. This should be a numbered list!

  1. Maturity models: AIDA, ISO TRAC, NDSA levels etc.
    1. Purpose: comparator analysis (functional competencies, best practice)
  2. Cross-institutional readiness (different groups involved? e.g. IT, library divisions, vendors e.g. hosted services)
    1. awareness of other cultures or policy contexts within different divisions (e.g. use of cloud or in-house systems) -- what has got a chance of getting through and what will get laughed out of the room?
  3. Digital preservation objectives as part of organisational mission?
  4. Gap analysis - skills, functions, required change (also useful to do comparator analysis with peer institutions)
  5. Ownership, responsibility, accountability - roles and responsibilities, organisational structure, job specifications
    1. clear leadership and communication? collaboration rather than enforcement
  6. Stakeholder analysis - demand, expectations, priorities, awareness/engagement - what are they trying to achieve? How does DP support them?
    1. Examples from different domains? Internal and external, senior management, users, depositors, etc.

Content

This should describe the contents or structure of the business case, resulting from following the Process above Describe the change you want to see in the organisation

  • where are we now
  • where do we want to be
  • timetable
    • staged progression over time? long-term vision and/or small term component of that?
    • continuous improvement? capacity of the organisation to adapt to change?

Skills

  • staff time / availability
  • exemplar skills profiles from organisations (in-house might mean local tech skills, hosted might mean project management/procurement/SLAs)
  • training programmes - does this mean change to existing posts? or change to team workloads?

Infrastructure

Finances

  • financial preparedness - ability to fund the necessary infrastructure, staffing
  • sustainability of any funding allocated to DP

Stakeholders
