What You'll Learn In The Lab

LAB 1: Build a CFO-ready FY26 case

  • Structure a one-page business case (outcome, leading indicators, opex/capex, two scenarios, risks, and a precise ask).

  • Quantify value and pick the first visible win to prove traction fast.

  • You leave with: a fillable 1-Page FY26 Case and a one-sentence ask.

LAB 2: Pre-wire support across Q4

  • Map who decides, who gates, and who shapes—and in what order to engage them.

  • Book three short briefings (ally → skeptic → decider) and send a one-page pre-read that surfaces objections early.

  • You leave with: a Stakeholder Sequencing Plan and three ready-to-send outreach emails.

LAB 3: Operate like an owner in budget meetings / discussions

  • Open powerfully, show trade-offs, and handle pushback without losing momentum.

  • Close with approval, a pilot, or a firm decision date—no open loops.

  • You leave with: In-the-Room Scripts (open/close lines), an Objection Matrix, and two meeting non-negotiables.

Imagine...

  • You open the budget discussion with a tight ask, and people listen.

  • Your initiative is top-of-mind when FY26 funds are allocated.

  • Your reputation reads “owner”: decisive, precise, credible.

  • You’ve lined up the right allies ahead of time.

  • You know the exact words to land approval, a pilot, or a decision date.
