About This Course

The technical case for a cloud decision is rarely the hard part. Getting an executive to engage with it is, because most cloud conversations are still handed to the C-suite in engineering language.

This course is about the translation, not any one proposal. It’s a general communication skillset for framing cost, risk, and strategy discussions so executives understand what they’re actually approving.

What You’ll Learn

  • Speaking to each executive by role — CFO, CTO, CSO, CIO — instead of pitching “the C-suite” as one audience
  • Translating technical concepts into the business language each of those conversations runs on
  • Framing cloud ROI in terms executives already use to evaluate other investments
  • Handling pointed executive questions about cost and risk without getting defensive
  • Practicing a live CFO conversation with the course’s AI-powered Role Play simulation — a feature none of Lee’s other courses include

Who This Is For

Architects, IT leaders, and technical managers who present cloud decisions to executives and want a repeatable way to frame the conversation, not a one-time pitch.
