The Executive Summary for White Papers and Briefing Books, PAEs and SYPAs, Writing Workshop presented by Luci Herman, HKS Lec
This workshop teaches the writing strategies and structures
for effective executive summaries for white papers and briefing
books. The workshop illuminates basic steps that will turn complex
ideas into crisp and powerful arguments guaranteed to capture the
attention of a busy decision-maker or client. You will learn
strategies to synthesize complex data into a succinct and coherent
whole that allows a decision-maker quickly to understand the
problem, sort through the evidence, and be persuaded of optimal
solutions. You will learn how to foreground the central issue,
summarize the status quo, illuminate the stakeholders, signpost the
pros and cons of your reasoning for change, and highlight key
findings and recommendations. This workshop is ideal for PAE and
SYPA writers seeking presentation strategies that advise elite
decision makers and garner support from key constituencies.
