The Market Nobody Was Ready For

Nina — Head of New Business

"She saw the opportunity. Her entire leadership team saw the risk.
Moving first meant failing alone."

Six months of work nobody asked for. Eight slides. One request for eight minutes at a session she wasn't on.

The Story

What would you do?

Please choose:

Follow the process. Submit through the formal new business pipeline. If the idea is strong enough, it will surface in the next cycle.

Ask your direct manager to sponsor it for a future agenda item. Work through the structure rather than around it.

Send the deck to two senior leaders you trust before the session. Let them decide whether to raise it.

Ask for time on the agenda. Eight minutes. Send the message tonight: "I have something I think needs to be in this conversation."

Here is what actually happened.
