Your question is Handling Executive Pushback on Insights. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).

You still need to protect the integrity of the analysis, keep the discussion productive, and move the decision forward without turning it into a credibility battle.
How would you handle a situation where a senior executive disagrees with your data insight?
