• {{performance_metrics}}: Key performance indicators (KPIs) that may be affected by training.
• {{cost_data}}: The costs associated with the training (e.g., development, delivery, time).
• {{stakeholders}}: The audience for the business case (e.g., executives, finance team).

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
2. Analyze the effectiveness of the current training initiatives based on the provided data.
3. Examine the correlation between training participation and the specified KPIs, drawing insights from the data.
4. Build a business case that includes cost-benefit analysis and potential productivity gains.
