YOUR BUSINESS CONTEXT What is the business or project? Which markets and parties are involved? What timing or existing commitments should be understood? 3. YOUR NEXT DECISION What needs to be decided or progressed? Who is responsible for the decision? What information is already available? Keep your initial brief concise.
