What this best-practices deck is for
A best-practices deck sets out the practices that decide whether this kind of initiative works, and the mistakes that undo it, on slides ready for a workshop or a leadership briefing.
Teams use it to plan an initiative, to check a plan already underway, and to brief people who will make decisions about it.
