About

I’m David Stephen, a Wellington-based consultant specialising in public investment and business case development.

My work focuses on the early stages of significant investments — where problems need to be defined clearly, investment logic needs to be tested, and decision-makers need confidence that the case for change is sound.

I am the author of the latest Treasury Better Business Case templates and guidance, and support organisations applying these templates when developing investment proposal
