  2. Buying Centers & Stakeholders – org chart covering operations, engineering, IT/OT, finance, procurement.
  3. Current State & Pain Map – KPIs, constraints, compliance mandates, modernization priorities.

  5. Pursuit Plan – milestones, resource needs, partner involvement, escalation points.

Templates

  • Stakeholder matrix with influence, priorities, relationships.
  • Pursuit tracker with stages, owners, decision gates, and notes.

Tips

  • Refresh after every executive meeting or site visit.
