I'm a "do-it-yourselfer" on a mission to get better at asking for help. Your ideas are similar to what author Samuel Chand calls 'Vision Casting'.

One, you have to know the audience for the deliverable. You touched on this by saying "the CEO will get this..." but knowing the audience and the tone required for the deliverable makes a big difference. Second, you need to have a draft of part of the deliverable done way early. If the deliverable is due two weeks out, in two days you should see a draft of a portion of the deliverable. The reason is it gives you tangible specifics to talk about based on what is in front of you, not theory. That makes everything that more real for both parties and their communication. This may be covered in "early feedback" but early feedback can be "how's it going?" You get the answer..."Oh, fine." And you're doomed! I would add two suggestions.
