MBIE has announced the 3 successful proposals under the $6 million investment in internationally connected research projects that will explore the potential applications of Soul Machines’ ‘Digital People’ TM Human OS Platform in an area of healthcare research.
A project or programme brief is a governance document that outlines the investment proposal during the first stage of a project or programme. It summarises indicative costs, benefits, scope and schedule. It is used to determine whether decision makers approve proceeding to the next stage, and includes funding to cover business case development.
A business case provides justification for undertaking a project or programme. It evaluates the benefits, costs and risks of alternative options and presents the rationale for the preferred solution. Its purpose is to obtain management commitment and approval for the investment or funding. Business cases provide a structured way to present the case for investment to decision-makers.
