Is there a method to putting together a compelling argument for work purposes? I have the ammo i think i need but wonder if there's something management might appreciate more (numbers and that)

Make sure you get in "realise the potential....."

"going forward", don't forget "going forward".

"Bottom Line" is rather de rigueur as well.

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

ROI is always worth a mention. Make sure you include charts too.

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Oh yeh, and do a SWOT analysis
Strengths - about 12% abv and 500mg capsules
Weaknesses - mainly in my knees and head, guv.
Opportunities - all over the place
Threats - to one's health mainly!

[bobo the clown]

.... & focus on the principles of the RACI accountability model.

Noting who involved in a project is Responsible, who's Accountable, who's Consulted and who's Informed you can ensure who to blame when something goes tits up.

[Beefheart]

Oh, and a PESTLE analysis. The Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Environmental impacts.

[Burnden Paddock]

Don't. Please don't. It's still all too fresh in the memory!!

[Worthy4England]

Don't take

Avoid

One or the other

Don't mix

Is that better?

Can't beat a couple of co-codamol and 10 pints of Stella.

well if you want fall asleep suddenly and be in the same position when you wake as you went to sleep in, that is your concoction.

That's the badger.

Numbers, yes. Proof points - what's supporting your hypothesis?

Do I have to put money in, to get benefit out? What's the ask on that. How will we measure success? So how do we prove it's delivered what you said it would? If it's financial what's the Internal Rate of Return....yadda, yadda..

Oh and is it a silver bullet....

[bobo the clown]

Time scales. Short-term versus long (even medium) term objectives and returns.

"Bang for the buck".

Oh ... & these days .... ensure you show it's environmental impact and that it's got "sustainability". "Footprint". That's a good one.

Plus it is robust on all elements of equality and social justice.



Look .... just wing the thing over & I'll cobble it together for you. I should have it back to you by 1pm if you get a shift on.

[Prufrock]

I do love the cynicism of TW sometimes!

Errr, something about Norwegian wood.

There's a lot of people saying this is 'ironic', is it not in fact apt? Shirley irony would be if the tree was felled by a load of rolling stones.

I came across one of those "what would you have on your gravestone" discussions the other day, all the usuals were trotted out, but I loved the anti-Victorian-sentiment idea:

Here lies thebish
dead - not sleeping.

you're treading on my foot...

Wife's, for me: "Go on then, let's see you sort that!"

"OK. Now stop staring & fck off"
