Pre-Wiring
Pre-wiring is the practice of sharing a recommendation draft privately before the formal decision meeting with stakeholders who must pay for the proposal, deliver it, or have the authority to block it. Presenting unvetted figures or operational plans in the meeting risks defensive resistanceāsuch as finance protecting a budget because they have not had time to verify calculations. Pre-wiring prevents these surprises by allowing sponsors to gather early feedback, modify the proposal accordingly, and inform stakeholders of the adjustments prior to the official review.
