What is it
that enables some people to put complex ideas across persuasively in writing, while others
struggle to articulate their thoughts? How often have you had to work hard to
produce clear reports, papers, analyses, presentations and memos?
The clear
communication of ideas, whether to clients, colleagues or the management board, is a key
factor in determining personal success.
The Pyramid
Principle explains how to:
- think creatively,
reason lucidly, and express ideas with clarity
- define complex
problems and establish the objectives of any document
- assess your ideas
and recognize their relative importance
- structure your
reasoning into a coherent and transparent argument
- analyze your
argument to confirm its effectiveness.
- Barbara Minto's
best-selling book, now in its third edition, is based on the concept that any grouping of
ideas is easier to comprehend if it is pre-sorted into a logical structure before being
committed to paper, and experience has shown that a 'top-down' pyramid structure is
the most readily understood.
Applying the
Pyramid Principle will enable you to present your thinking so clearly that the ideas move
off the page and into the reader's mind with a minimum of effort and a maximum of
effect.
