Pitching ideas to stakeholders/leadership - suggestions or advice?

Beth - LenovoPRO CM

How do you pitch new projects, ideas or promotion-related topics to your stakeholders or leadership?

  • Do you have an idea for process improvement?
  • Or do you want to add a new aspect to your role to grow new skills?

Finding the right time, place and words can be a tricky sometimes, especially if your leadership isn't as open to change or new ideas. 

So, do you have any suggestions that have worked for you when pitching new ideas? OR Are you a leader? How do you feel when people pitch ideas to you? What do you like to see? How do you tell the good ideas from the not-so-good?

    I usually go with a good, better, best approach.  Go in with three levels of you idea, make the good level what you actually want, the better needs to have a few extras thrown in that would be nice, shoot for the moon on the best.  I find that most of the time you will end up with the good or better options and the leaders still think they are getting a good deal.  Every once in a while you get to shoot for the moon.
