I also understand you recently attended an IPv6 training. I want you to make a presentation to executive management to tell us why this is important to us what our approach as a company should be.”<br>
</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>I believe that the ability for an engineer to make such a case for IPv6 to business executives is a critical for driving adoption. <div><br></div><div>Such guidance is the subject of my latest post <<a href="http://techxcellence.net/2013/03/05/v6-business-case-for-engineers/" target="_blank">How to ‘Sell’ IPv6 to Executive Management – Guidance for Engineers</a>><div>
<br></div><div>It essentially guides an engineer on how to research and make a 15 slide (max), 45 minute presentation using the following framework:</div><div><br></div><div><div>a) Set the strategic context: how your organisation derives value from IP networks and the Internet.</div>
<div><br></div><div>b) Overview of the problem: IPv4 exhaustion</div><div><br></div><div>c) Implications of IPv4 Exhaustion to your organization’s business model.</div><div><br></div><div>d) Introduction of IPv6 as a solution to IPv4 exhaustion.</div>
