Boardroom Meeting Suggestion
Reviewed format guide
Widely recognizable template for a reasonable or naive idea gets violently corrected by reality.
Why this format lasts
A comic strip where a boss listens to bad corporate suggestions, then defenestrates the junior employee who suggests the obvious, practical solution. It works because every office has watched common sense get thrown out a window.
How the format works
the first caption is the naive proposal; the second caption is the correction or slap-down
When to use it
- a naive proposal getting instantly corrected by institutional or market reality
How a brand uses this
Every SaaS team has pitched a simple, common-sense fix only to get rejected for a bloated, expensive enterprise workaround. Use this to mock bad governance, pointless committees, or roadmaps driven by fear rather than user feedback.
Steal these starting points:
- naive idea: what if we just talk to five churned customers / correction: spend fifty grand on a brand perception study
- naive idea: let engineers fix technical debt for two sprints / correction: mandate an internal ai summit on productivity
- naive idea: make the cancel button visible on the billing page / correction: force customers into an exit interview zoom
When NOT to use it
- When the joke is just a recap; the format needs a stance or turn
- Using the template as two headline labels instead of creating the native comic turn
Example captions
- maybe wait for results / the timeline declares vibes
- Naive idea: doing it the old way / Correction: the obviously better way
- Naive idea: what we planned / Correction: what shipped
