Seminar Outline
Diagnose the Issue Before Recommending Action
Examine recurring symptoms, management assumptions, and operational effects. Determine what information you need and whether the initial request addresses the underlying problem.
Build a Business Case Leaders Can Evaluate
Compare practical options, identify resource requirements, and explain expected value. Decide what to recommend and how to substantiate the case without overstating the evidence.
Influence Stakeholders and Address Resistance
Assess competing priorities, decision authority, and objections. Practice presenting your recommendation, answering difficult questions, and adapting your approach while maintaining credibility.
Translate Support Into Accountable Execution
Define responsibilities, implementation steps, measures, and review points. Determine how to respond when leaders endorse an idea but leave action unresolved.
Apply the Learning to Your Workplace
Develop a recommendation addressing a relevant organizational challenge. Use written facilitator feedback to refine the proposal and prepare for discussion with business leaders.
