Think about architecture and deployments, general development models would
need to change
Thinking about how you would present it to clients
Understanding business pipelines, balanced with resource.
If not headless, then decoupled or hybrid approaches

Explain what Headless CMSs
API first
Not packed with monolithic CMS features
Ability to server to more channels
Important to stress that there are lots of API first approaches
Some of cloud first, some not - saas
Lot of created by single or small members, which may not survive - avoid headless pitfall
Lots of other features
Community
Hot fixes / patches
Upgrades
Go through the Kentico Cloud quick demo
Service layer importance
Investment to make for longer endurance
General investment to headless
you need to consider the other solutions, therefore could be costly to invest the others, over time it will be more cost effective.
Editor experience
moving away from standard CMS + widgets + tree based expected in more CMS
Content
is more inline editing, plain text
Structured data
Are businesses ready for this?
Great for developers and they love it
Marketers, doesn't mean much to them
Technically pushed to go down this route, by CTO for examples
Not pushed by less technical members of the team
Slow transition time, depending on the technical capabilities within the businesses
