What s the best way to get buy-in from senior leadership on a new project

Question

Getting buy-in from senior leadership on a new project can be tough, especially when there are competing priorities. What strategies do you use to gain their support and ensure the project is prioritized?

Answer 1

Getting buy-in at the senior leadership level demands a clear, compelling case for the value of the project. In one of my projects, I  aligned the goals of the project with the strategic priorities of the company.

• I demonstrated how it would drive tangible results in terms of increased revenue or improved efficiency.
• I presented data and evidence to support the impact of the project, including any risks and mitigation plans.
• I made sure that the leadership understood the ROI of the project and offered to keep them updated with regular progress reports to maintain their engagement and support.
