Episode notes
How do we frame an executive discussion so we can structure and present information in a way that effectively engages and aligns with the needs and interests of the executive audience? On this episode we answer that question by discussing the 8 important elements of framing a discussion with executives:
- Clearly define the objective
- Start with the big picture
- Identify key issues
- Highlight impacts and benefits
- Use visually compelling data and metrics
- Be able to anticipate questions and concerns
- Provide actionable recommendations
- Seek alignment with existing perspectives of the organization
