Situation brief
During a steering committee meeting, the sponsor questions whether your recommendation is practical and says your analysis underestimates implementation disruption.
Your role
Engagement manager presenting a transformation recommendation
Counterparty
Executive client sponsor who challenges assumptions publicly
Objective
Respond with composure, address the risk and maintain confidence in a considered recommendation.
Constraints
Some assumptions require validation; you must not dismiss operational experience or invent evidence.
Evaluation criteria
Before you begin
Practise the judgement, wording and next-step discipline required in a realistic business conversation.
This is a practice environment. Respond naturally rather than trying to write a perfect textbook answer.
Write what you would actually say in the meeting. Specific examples, questions and commitments score better than theory.
After the roleplay, you will complete a short reflection and receive a score, transcript, feedback and action plan.
