Pitching to the Chairperson
Dr Jack Jacoby
I help leaders deliver what they are paid to deliver using my strategic, change, knowledge, decision-making, and problem-solving methods.
If you’re trying to pitch an idea to the Chairperson of the Board, here are a few tips that might help you:
1. Pitch the concept efficiently and briefly: what does the Chairman need to know and understand to approve the request?
2. Pitch your message strategically: what are the medium to longer-term impacts and benefits for the organisation?
3. Be professional
4. Demonstrate the value to the business – specifically, how will it contribute to the organization’s KPOs.
5. Briefly explain the operational requirements and impacts and its “do-ability”.
6. Understand stakeholder impacts (and what will be done about any negatives).
7. Understand and explain any regulatory and compliance impacts (and what will be be done about any negatives)
