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.

give you a link to it as soon as I am finished, if you want
of course.
