Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Days thirty-one to sixty, now it's time to dig deep
Assess your current state, the promises you'll keep
Look at people, process, tech with fresh and open eyes
Don't judge what came before, just seek to understand why

[Chorus]
Analyze and align, make the business case
Map the risks to revenue, put them in their place
Quick wins and trust building, speaking their language clear
Days thirty-one to sixty, your vision's getting near

[Verse 2]
Find the highest impact risks that threaten what they do
Revenue and customers, continuity too
Review those policies, procedures and controls
Not to criticize them, but to understand their roles

[Chorus]
Analyze and align, make the business case
Map the risks to revenue, put them in their place
Quick wins and trust building, speaking their language clear
Days thirty-one to sixty, your vision's getting near

[Bridge]
No more frameworks and compliance speak
Talk dollars and cents, that's what they seek
Regulatory exposure, trust at stake
Three quick wins is all it takes

[Verse 3]
Build that risk narrative the C-suite can see
Not controls and standards, but what it means to be
Vulnerable to losses, reputation at risk
Draft tolerance levels, check each item off your list

[Verse 4]
Deliver on commitments from your listening tour
Help other functions solve problems, open every door
Regular meetings with your team and stakeholders too
Position as a partner in everything they do

[Chorus]
Analyze and align, make the business case
Map the risks to revenue, put them in their place
Quick wins and trust building, speaking their language clear
Days thirty-one to sixty, your vision's getting near

[Outro]
By day sixty you'll have that narrative complete
Risk and business outcomes finally will meet
Material risks mapped to what drives revenue
Preliminary roadmap, business impact shining through
