Executive Briefing

Concise briefing for senior leadership: situation, data, options, and decision required.

A complete 8-slide sample deck. The companies and figures in it are invented — slide-deck.io writes the same structure around your own topic, your brand colours and your data, and exports it as an editable .pptx.

  1. Should we build or buy identity?
    1

    Eight slides, one decision. If the recommendation is accepted on slide two, skip to slide seven and take questions.

  2. Recommendation: buy, and migrate over two quarters
    2

    Recommendation first. Everything after this slide is the evidence, and executives should be free to stop reading once they agree.

  3. Why this is on the table now
    3

    The single-maintainer point lands hardest with this audience. It is a business continuity issue, not an engineering preference.

  4. Three-year cost: buying is a quarter of building
    4

    Year 1 buy cost includes migration. The gap widens after that because building never stops costing maintenance.

  5. The honest case on both sides
    5

    Present the build case properly. A briefing that strawmans the alternative gets challenged on that instead of on the decision.

  6. What buying changes in the next twelve months
    6

    The footnote matters. If someone models 3x headcount growth the cost comparison narrows, though it does not reverse.

  7. What we are asking for
    7

    Four names, four dates. If any one of these slips past its date, the two-quarter migration becomes three.

  8. If we do nothing
    8

    Close on the cost of delay. In a briefing, "not yet" is the most likely outcome and this slide is what argues against it.
