Executive Innovation Briefing
A one-page briefing format for updating the C-suite on portfolio progress — the discipline of fitting a quarter of work onto a single page an executive will actually read.
Executive attention arrives in short windows. This format is built for those windows: headline, three portfolio movements, one decision needed, and the risks worth flagging.
Anything that doesn't fit on the page goes into an appendix you bring but don't present. The constraint is the point.
It ships pre-filled with sample content so you can see the intent of every field, then strip it out and replace it with your own.
One-page briefing format for updating the C-suite on portfolio progress. This tool is part of the InnoLead Tools library — a set of editable templates drawn from what our members use to run innovation functions inside large organizations.
- Download the document and drop in your organization's name, logo, and terminology.
- Delete the prompts you don't need; the structure matters more than the boilerplate.
- Circulate a draft to two or three stakeholders before you socialize it broadly.
