Financial sustainability and revenue generation
Resources to help organisations ensure they have business and revenue models that can support the activities necessary to sustain them
The Data and Public Services Business Case Canvas aims to help organisations make a business case for a project or service that uses data.
Through understanding a viable business case, organisations can begin to plan for financial sustainability and revenue generation.
This canvas is for people designing data-enabled public services.
This workbook has been designed to help data institutions (and organisations running data access initiatives) to make better decisions about their revenue models. The workbook helps you to reflect on and evaluate the current state of your organisation, before encouraging you to think through alternatives.
Through a comprehensive understanding of financial sustainability and means of revenue generation, people and organisations can have more trust in the long term sustainability of a steward of data.
The workbook is useful for organisations who are in a state of change. Whether that means coming to the end of some grant funding, building your first revenue strategy, or wanting to evolve and expand your organisation, this workbook can help them to plan for the transition.
'Scaling data-enabled projects: a checklist' is intended to help organisations explore the issues that might help them scale beyond short-term or small-scale products.
Through considering the opportunities related to scaling products and services, organisations can plan for long-term financial sustainability and revenue generation.
This checklist is for organisations involved in designing, planning or running products and services.
The Data Toolkit for Business and The value of sharing data in the private sector case studies
The Data Toolkit for Business is a series of free tools and guides to help private sector organisations manage, publish and use data. A key component of the toolkit is a project outlining the value of sharing data in the private sector.
Through demonstrating the business value of sharing data to a sector, network or individual business – and looking at how an organisation might benefit in terms of innovation, network capabilities, and brand positioning – organisations can begin to build trust in sharing data.
The business cases are for organisations wishing to use the potential benefits of making a move towards ‘openness’ to: demonstrate the value of sharing data in the private sector; encourage more private sector organisations to explore data-sharing possibilities; and build trust between private sector organisations.
