Write and present persuasive reports
Douglas W. Hissong
Battelle
Abstract
Two crucial aspects of creating persuasive reports are (1) knowing and expressing the main message and (2) organizing the material in a logical, complete, thought sequence. The report can be a figurative pyramid of progressively involved detail with conclusions and recommendations up front (at the top) followed by methods, explanations, proofs, data, etc. Critical revision and refinement must precede the finished product.
