The IT Admins Playbook for Strategic Conversations with Executives

Episode 15   Published January 23, 2025 9 minute watch

Summary

Host Landon Miles walks IT professionals through how to win executive buy-in without burying decision-makers in technical detail. His argument is that execs and IT want the same secure, productive operation, so the job is translating IT into the language of strategy – growth, risk, cost, and outcomes. He lays out a three-step approach: relay the problem clearly with data, present options (minimum viable, full solution, and do-nothing), and stay solution-driven while anticipating the questions leadership will ask.
