Proposing Strategic Pivots: Executive Decision-Making Prompts
Proposing a major strategic pivot is a high-stakes move. Vague ideas will be rejected; data-backed proposals will be debated seriously. This template structures your pivot proposal to respect executive time by focusing on the 'why' (the data), the 'what' (the change), and the 'so what' (the risk/reward). It’s designed to start a constructive debate, not a defensive one.
