Talking to management can be exhausting and experience has shown that it doesn't always lead to the result the presenter wants. Does it sometimes seem to you that management and technicians simply speak different languages? Or as if they simply don't want to understand you, even though you only want to help the company and make it more secure? Do they pick apart your arguments, ask you detailed questions that have nothing to do with your reasoning or do you have the feeling that management doesn't take you seriously at all? On the other hand, do you have the feeling that management is just talking in their own language?

In my presentation, I would like to use the example of Zero Trust to show you how to skillfully express safety issues and strategies in management language. You will learn how to develop and present arguments that will convince your management. I will explain how you can best present yourself in presentations and how you can ultimately help yourself and your company. I will give you concrete steps without the risk of micromanaging or management bingo that simply snuffs out management ignorance. Get noticed and implement your ideas!
