In this podcast, I'll share practical steps to handle resistance from budget holders when presenting your ideas or innovations.
1️⃣ Emphasize the financial benefits. Show how your idea or innovation can either generate revenue or save money. Highlighting the potential financial impact can be a persuasive argument, as budget holders are often focused on the bottom line.
2️⃣ Be mindful of your funding request. Start by asking for a smaller amount rather than a significant investment. A modest request is more likely to gain approval and can serve as a low-risk way to test your innovation.
3️⃣ Finally, convey your commitment to learning and optimization. Explain that your innovation approach is to invest a little to gain valuable insights and learning. Emphasize that this philosophy is essential for progress and that you're focused on making the most of resources.
By aligning your innovation proposal with these principles, you can increase the likelihood of gaining support from budget holders.
I hope you find these tips helpful in navigating budget holder resistance. Thanks for watching!
