Developing Effective Recommendations
Convincing Management
Once you have developed effective engineering and administrative controls, the challenge is convincing management to make changes.
Management will most likely understand the importance of taking corrective action and readily agree with your ideas.
However, if management doesn't fully understand the benefits, success becomes less likely. Your ability to present effective recommendations becomes even more important.
This module will help you learn how to put together "an offer they can't refuse" by emphasizing the long-term bottom-line benefits of corrective actions.
Why Decision-makers Don't Respond Quickly
When recommendations are not acted upon, it is usually because the decision-maker does not have enough information to decide. To speed up the process and improve the approval rate, you must anticipate the questions decision-makers will ask. The more pertinent the information included in the presentation, the higher the odds of approval.
