Hi [Your Manager’s Name],
I’d like to request reimbursement for a professional development course called Decision by Design. This 12-week program provides practical decision-making frameworks that would strengthen our team’s strategic planning and problem-solving capabilities.
The Course Focuses on:
- Making high-stakes decisions under uncertainty
- Improving decision speed and quality
- Enhancing team communication and alignment
- Building a reusable toolkit for future decisions
Investment Details:
- Cost: $1,500 USD
- Format: Online, self-paced (2-3 hours per week)
- Duration: 12 weeks starting February 2025
- Includes lifetime access to materials
To ensure the team benefits from this investment, I plan to create a framework summary and conduct a lunch-and-learn session to share key tools with our department.
Would you approve this professional development opportunity?
Thanks,
[Your Name]
