How to Use the Worksheets in This Course

This course uses two types of working documents: section worksheets and a single cumulative Executive Debt Mitigation Plan.

Section worksheets are designed for focus. Each one helps you identify patterns, test assumptions, or clarify impact in a specific area. They are intentionally short and task-specific. You should complete them as you move through each section.

The Executive Debt Mitigation Plan is your anchor. It is a living document that you will update throughout the course. This is the artifact that matters after the course ends.

You are not expected to re-copy information from one worksheet to another. When prompts reference earlier work, use it as context. Only update or rewrite inputs if your thinking has changed.

A simple rule applies throughout the course:

Worksheets help you discover. The Mitigation Plan captures decisions and commitments.

By the end of the course, you should have one clear, owned plan—not a stack of disconnected PDFs.
