Layout Pattern
Assumptions & Dependencies
Lists the conditions this plan depends on. Makes the fragile parts of a strategy explicit.
How to Use It
Every plan rests on assumptions; good plans declare them. Use three short columns: Assumptions (what must be true), Dependencies (what we need from others), Blockers (what will stop us). 3-5 items per column. Name the owners or external parties for each dependency. Place near the end of a plan deck - after the strategy, before the action plan. This slide is insurance for the plan owner: when assumptions change, the plan change is expected, not a surprise.
