I feel like framing this as non technical executives are somehow being decieved by big bad technical folks and thus should "skill up", is a potential recipe for disaster. I suspect most situations aren't "can't do that" it's "can't do that within the realm of choices you guys already made to accomplish other things...". Executives coming along with "nuh uh, can to, took a class!" I suspect won't help.
