Barbara Minto reveals that the mind automatically sorts information into distinctive pyramidal groupings. However, if any group of ideas are arranged into a pyramid structure in the first place, not only will it save valuable time and effort to write, it will take even less effort to read and comprehend it.
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.
The clear communication of ideas, whether to clients, colleagues or the management board, is a key factor in determining personal success. 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.
