From technical risk to business impact
On This Lesson 4 topics
This lesson is planned. The outline below lists the topics it will cover. The full lesson has not been published yet.
In this lesson
translate technical findings into effects an executive can weigh.
Planned topics
- Replace technical terms with outcomes: lost orders, delayed launch, regulatory fine, higher cost.
- Quantify with ranges and state the assumptions; a rough number beats an adjective.
- Connect to something the business already tracks (revenue per hour, seller churn).
- Show the cost of doing nothing next to the cost of acting.

Demonstration
