financial models, and many èat if3cenarios. In this process, the new
product or service is considered as part of a system.
Scenario
You rocked your BMC and received a great response from the experienced
project manager (PM). As you read the feedback, you realize that itànow time
to develop the financial component. In the comments, the PM also stated that
no matter how good an idea is, to senior management, itàa ¯-go)f the new
product or service does not produce sales.
In preparation for your funding pitch, which you will submit as your course
project in Module Seven, the PM also warns that funding pitches are quick and
decisive. Including too much information could overwhelm senior
management, cause more questions, and erode the purpose of the funding
pitch.
