Be the person that can communicate in digital and analog.
I recently completed an executive leadership course, where I learned the importance of engineers becoming familiar with common business and executive taxonomies to become more effective in their roles. Here are my takeaways and additional research on this topic.
As organizations grow in complexity, engineers who understand and utilize business taxonomies can bridge the gap between technical details and executive-level decision-making, positioning themselves as effective communicators and strategic assets.
Business taxonomies play a crucial role in bridging this gap. These structured systems of classification provide a common language for organizing and categorizing information, enabling engineers to convey complex technical concepts in a clear and understandable manner.
Don’t make the business person an IT person. You, as an IT person have to become the business person.
Engineers who master the use of business taxonomies position themselves as valuable assets within their organizations. Their ability to translate technical details into actionable business insights empowers them to influence strategic decisions, drive innovation, and contribute to the overall success of the company.
By effectively utilizing taxonomies, engineers can:
- Understand the business perspective
- Communicate their viewpoint in a way that executives can easily understand
- Make better decisions together
- Achieve better outcomes
Common Elements of Executive Communication Taxonomies
Executive communication taxonomies provide a structured framework of terms and concepts that executives can use to clearly and effectively convey complex ideas and make well-informed decisions during meetings and discussions.
Some common elements of executive communication taxonomies include:
| Term | Description | Explain to a 10 Yr. Old |
| Budget Allocation: | The distribution of financial resources to different areas of the business. | Think of budget allocation like planning how to spend your allowance. If you get $10, you might decide to spend $5 on toys, $3 on snacks, and $2 on saving for something special. It’s like making a money plan for different things you want. |
| Competitive Landscape: | Analysis of other companies operating in the same industry and how they may impact the organization. | Imagine you have a lemonade stand, and there are other kids with lemonade stands too. Looking at the competitive landscape is like checking what they are doing – maybe they have a cool sign or a better recipe. It’s about understanding your lemonade business compared to others. |
| Key performance indicators (KPIs): | The metrics that will be used to measure the organization’s progress towards its goals. | KPIs are like the report card for your lemonade stand. How much money did you make? How many cups did you sell? It’s the important stuff that shows if your lemonade stand is doing well. |
| Market Share: | The percentage of the total market that a company or product controls. | If there are 10 lemonade stands in your neighborhood, and you sell 5 cups, your market share is 50%. It’s like saying, “I sold half of all the lemonade in our neighborhood.” |
| Milestones: | Significant points or events in a project or timeline. | Milestones are like checkpoints in a race. If your lemonade stand is a race, hitting a milestone could be reaching a certain number of cups sold. It’s a way to know you’re on the right track. |
| Quarterly or Annual Reports: | Summaries of a company’s financial performance and strategic updates. | Imagine you’re running a lemonade stand. At the end of each day, you count your earnings and subtract the cost of the ingredients. That’s like a quarterly report. At the end of the summer, you add up all your earnings and expenses. That’s like an annual report. |
| Return on Investment (ROI): | A measure of the profitability of an investment, often expressed as a percentage. | Let’s say you buy a new bike for $100. You use it to deliver newspapers and earn $50 a week. After two weeks, you’ve made back your $100 investment. That means your ROI is 100%. The higher the ROI, the better the investment. |
| Resources: | The people, money, and other assets that the organization needs to achieve its goals. | Imagine you’re building a treehouse. You’ll need wood, nails, a hammer, and a friend to help you. These are your resources. Businesses need resources like people, money, and equipment to achieve their goals. |
| Stakeholder Engagement: | Strategies for communicating and interacting with various stakeholders, including employees, customers, investors, and the community. | Let’s say you’re starting a new club at school. You need to talk to your teachers, classmates, and parents to get their support. That’s stakeholder engagement. Businesses need to communicate with their employees, customers, investors, and the community to succeed. |
| Strategic Initiatives | Major projects or programs that align with the organization’s overall strategy. | Imagine you’re planning a big family trip. You need to decide where to go, how to get there, and what to do once you’re there. These are your strategic initiatives. Businesses need major projects or programs to achieve their overall strategy. |
| Strategic Objectives: | High-level goals that the organization aims to achieve over a specific period. | Let’s say you want to get good grades in school. You might set objectives like studying for an hour each night and doing all your homework. Strategic objectives are high-level goals that an organization aims to achieve over a specific period. |
| SWOT Analysis: | An evaluation of a company’s Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats to inform strategic planning. | Imagine you’re playing a game of basketball. You need to know your strengths (like being tall and fast) and weaknesses (like not being a good shooter). You also need to know the opportunities (like playing on a good team) and threats (like playing against a tough opponent). That’s a SWOT analysis. Businesses use SWOT analysis to inform their strategic planning. |
| Tactics: | The specific actions that will be taken to implement the strategy. | Imagine you’re trying to save up for a new video game. You might save your allowance, do chores for extra money, or sell old toys. These are your tactics. Businesses need specific actions to implement their strategy. |
| Value Proposition: | The unique value that a product or service offers to customers. | Let’s say you’re selling homemade cookies. You need to convince people that your cookies are better than the ones at the store. That’s your value proposition. Businesses need to explain why their product or service is unique and valuable to customers. |
| Vision and mission: | The organization’s long-term goals and objectives. | Imagine you want to be a doctor when you grow up. That’s your vision. Your mission is to study hard and get into medical school. An organization’s vision is its long-term goals, and its mission is how it plans to achieve those goals. |
Risk Management Taxonomies
A taxonomy of the most common risk-related terms and concepts is essential for dealing with potential problems and unexpected situations:
| Term | Description | Explain to a 10 Yr. Old |
| Contingency Plan: | A set of predetermined actions to be taken when specific risks materialize. | Imagine you have a backup plan for your birthday party in case it rains. A contingency plan is like that but for grown-up stuff. It’s a set of plans ready to use if something unexpected or risky happens. |
| Compliance Risks: | Risks associated with failing to comply with relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards. | Think of rules in a game. If you don’t follow them, you might get in trouble or lose. In real life, not following laws or important rules can be a big problem, and that’s what compliance risks are about. |
| Crisis Management: | Protocols and strategies for responding to and recovering from a crisis or unexpected event. | Remember when the power went out, and your parents had flashlights and candles ready? Crisis management is like having a plan and tools for when something really bad happens, so you can fix it and get back to normal. |
| Cybersecurity Risks: | Potential threats to the security and integrity of digital assets and information. | Just like you lock your diary to keep it private, companies need to protect their computer stuff from bad people. Cybersecurity risks are like making sure the computer doesn’t get ‘sick’ or that nobody steals important information. |
| Enterprise Risk Management (ERM): | An integrated and holistic approach to managing all types of risks across an organization. | Think of a big puzzle with many pieces. ERM is like looking at the whole puzzle, not just one piece. It’s about making sure everything in a company works together and is safe from risks. |
| Financial Risks: | Risks related to financial markets, currency fluctuations, and other economic factors. | Imagine your piggy bank getting lighter because the value of your coins changes. Financial risks are like that, but for grown-ups. It’s about being careful with money because things like prices and money values can change. |
| Insurance Coverage: | Evaluating and maintaining appropriate insurance policies to mitigate certain types of risks. | When you play a game, sometimes you have special cards that protect you. Insurance is like those cards for real life. It helps if something bad happens, like if your toy breaks or your house gets a little damaged. |
| Operational Risks: | Risks arising from internal processes, systems, people, or external events that could impact operations. | Think about a big robot working in a factory. If something goes wrong with the robot or the people working, it can stop making toys. Operational risks are like making sure everything works smoothly so the toys keep coming. |
| Reputational Risk: | The risk of damage to the organization’s reputation, brand, or image. | You know how your friends might not want to play if you break the rules? Reputational risk is like that for companies. If they do something wrong, people might not want to be friends with them (buy their stuff) anymore. |
| Risk Appetite: | The level of risk that an organization is willing to accept in pursuit of its objectives. | It’s like saying how much spicy food you can handle. Companies decide how much risk they’re okay with to reach their goals. Some like it a bit risky, and some like it safer. |
| Risk Assessment: | The process of evaluating potential risks, including their likelihood and potential impact on the organization. | Imagine making a list of all the things that could go wrong when you plan a big game. That’s a bit like risk assessment – thinking about what might happen and how bad it could be. |
| Risk Communication: | Effectively communicating risks to stakeholders, both internal and external. | If you found out the game rules changed, you’d tell your friends, right? Risk communication is like that but for grown-ups. It’s telling everyone involved about the possible problems and how to deal with them. |
| Risk Governance: | The framework, policies, and processes for managing and overseeing risk management activities. | Think of it like having a boss who makes sure everyone follows the rules. Risk governance is about having leaders who make sure the company is safe from risks and does things the right way. |
| Risk Mitigation: | Strategies and actions taken to reduce or eliminate the impact of identified risks. | Remember playing tag and having a safe zone? That’s a bit like risk mitigation – finding ways to make problems not so bad or stop them from happening. |
| Risk Register: | A comprehensive list of identified risks along with relevant details such as impact, likelihood, and mitigation strategies. | It’s like having a list of all the things that could go wrong in your game, along with how to stop them. A risk register is a grown-up list for companies, helping them be ready for possible problems. |
| Scenario Planning: | Anticipating and preparing for different potential future scenarios to enhance resilience. | Pretend you’re the captain of a spaceship. Scenario planning is like thinking about what might happen during your space journey and preparing for different things, like meeting aliens or fixing a broken spaceship. |
| Strategic Risks: | Risks associated with the execution of the organization’s strategy, including market changes and competition. | Imagine you’re the captain of a soccer team. Strategic risks are like thinking about how the other team plays and planning how to win. It’s about making sure the big plan works well. |
| Supply Chain Risks: | Potential disruptions or issues within the supply chain that could impact production or delivery. | Think about all the people who help make your pizza, from the cook to the delivery person. Supply chain risks are like making sure everyone does their job so you get your pizza on time and hot. |
| Risk Tolerance: | The acceptable level of variation relative to achieving business objectives. | It’s like saying how many mistakes you’re okay with when playing a game. Companies decide how much variation they can handle while still reaching their goals – how much risk is too much or just enough. |
Finance and Budgeting Taxonomies
To organize and manage financial information, businesses often use different sets of categories and structures called taxonomies and frameworks. These frameworks help executives make informed decisions and allocate resources effectively.

| Amortization: is used for intangible assets, such as patents and copyrights. | Amortization: is similar to depreciation, but it is used for intangible assets, which are things that you can’t touch. Examples of intangible assets include patents, copyrights, and trademarks. These assets also lose value over time, but they do so in a different way than tangible assets.
