This is a though one. Usually the only / best shot i have on this is...

  • Linking it to long term delivery timeline (useful for continuous long running projects)

    • Long term schedule can be shorter : faster go to market
  • Linking it to perceivable user experience (eg, api being slow affects site load speeds)

    • User experience can be better : better revenue??

Generally though as many clients tends to view IT as a "cost center" as oppose to a "tech asset". I find that linking it to something that affects their business bottom line is the best way to get across the "cost center" barrier.
