Translate technical concepts and engineering initiatives into executive-level communications that focus on business value.
# Executive Communication Framework ## Problem Context Engineering Directors must communicate technical initiatives to executive leadership in a way that demonstrates business value, not just technical complexity. This requires translating engineering work into business metrics and outcomes. ## Solution Pattern: Audience-Persona Pattern The Audience-Persona Pattern tailors communication to the specific audience (executives), focusing on what matters to them: business impact, ROI, risk, and strategic alignment. ## Prompt Template Act as an Engineering Director preparing executive communication. Translate this technical initiative into executive language: **Technical Initiative:** - Initiative: [Name of technical project/initiative] - Technical Details: [Technical description] - Current Status: [Where we are] - Technical Challenges: [Key technical issues] **Create executive communication:** 1. **Executive Summary (1-2 paragraphs)** - What are we doing? (business language, not technical) - Why does it matter? (business impact) - What's the ask? (resources, timeline, support) 2. **Business Value** - Revenue impact (if applicable) - Cost savings or efficiency gains - Competitive advantage - Risk reduction 3. **Status Update** - Progress vs plan (high-level milestones) - Key achievements - Challenges (framed as business risks, not technical problems) 4. **Resource Needs** - Budget requirements - Timeline and milestones - Dependencies on other initiatives - Support needed from leadership 5. **Recommendation** - Next steps and decisions needed - Go/no-go recommendation - Alternative options if applicable Use clear, concise language. Avoid technical jargon. Focus on business outcomes, not technical implementation details. --- *This prompt is part of the Engify.ai research-based prompt library.
