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
A decision-maker may delay action when a recommendation lacks enough decision-ready information, has unclear authority or priorities, or does not identify needed resources. Anticipating likely questions and providing relevant facts can support a timely, informed decision.
