Congratulations!
You are in charge of a project that people seem to care about. It is so important that it has got the attention of a steering committee.
But now the steering committee is expecting an update from you.
And you have to prepare for a first meeting.
That's somewhat of a scary situation, right?
Well, you are nervous for a good reason, because ...
You are going to be talking to high-level people: Company executives and management representatives, a demanding client and other heavy-weights!
These are not the people you usually hang out with.
They are not your nice coworkers who'll smile and say "no worries" if you make a dumb mistake
Steering committee members are very mindful of their time
They want you to get to the point quickly.
They want to understand the real picture of your project in 5 minutes
If you start rambling about details, they have no mercy and they'll shut you up immediately.
So how do you prepare for the meeting?
What should you put on the agenda?
And what's the best order to go through the points?
And then -- issues -- what issues should you bring up in the steering update?
These are probably the kinds of questions you have right now.
Bear with me, I can help you
As a project leader in top companies, I have done dozens of steering committee updates involving a super demanding, high-profile audience which included corporate executives, directors and vendor management.
I'm happy to help you prepare for your first steering comittee meeting.
