What is the proper way to convince a boss that you have a better idea or concept and a suggestion that will change his decision and agree with yours?

In most cases, boss is a boss and his decisions are final.

Presenting to a C-suite executive or senior manager, especially when you’re entry-level or somewhere in the middle, requires a different set of skills compared to run-of-the-mill speaking presentations. Because the roles of these high-level staff are quite different than the mid-level managers you may be used to working with, their objectives, communication styles, and decision-making methods are going to be distinct as well.

But whether you’re pitching an idea for a new product, process, or other special initiative, you’ve got this. All you need is some solid preparation and a few adjustments to your usual delivery style.

Seven things to be remembered:-

1)Know What you are asking for.

2)Make it relevant.

3)Inform but don't overwhelm.

4)Cut your time in half

5)Be mindful of the idea's impact

6)Include recommendations and options.

7)Don't be Intimidated.

For situation like this, I always infused the word "What if" and then followed by the idea I would like to suggest. Any opinions or suggestions I made to my boss are back up with reality examples that favors me and will make him agree.
