Outlining a list of learning resources feels less impactful for gaining support. I think it’s more about showing the value of the initiative to leadership.

I remember a practice question that emphasized the importance of aligning the initiative with business goals. That makes me lean towards the business case too.

Identifying target participants seems like a good starting point, but I don't think that alone would be enough to secure leadership support. I'll need to think about how to build a comprehensive strategy that addresses multiple aspects of the talent development initiative.

Outlining learning resources might be a good way to showcase the content and structure of the program, but I'm not sure if that would be the most effective way to gain leadership buy-in. I'll have to carefully consider the question.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Preparing a detailed budget could also be important to show the financial viability of the initiative. I'll need to think through the pros and cons of each option.

B is the obvious choice here. Gotta speak the language of the leadership team - show them the bottom line impact.

I'm going with B as well. Outlining the benefits, ROI, and strategic alignment is the best way to convince the higher-ups.
