Great article by Hermant Kogekar. Hermant is the principal of Kogekar Consulting.
Article ran in CIO Summer 2011/2012 and was titled GOING UP?
A nice refresher on delivering a ‘well articulated message’ covering basic questions:
- describe your problem or solution
- define our solution
- describe the implementation plan and risks
- what is required and is funding available
- describe the support needed to ensure success
- consolidate practice and deliver
Keep the pitch concise and conversational.
