Framework for Structuring Strategic Recommendations PPT
This PPT slide, part of the 56-slide Preparing Powerful Board Papers PowerPoint presentation, presents 5 deductive patterns designed to aid in structuring recommendations effectively. Each pattern is labeled and accompanied by a brief directive, illustrating how to approach various scenarios in decision-making.
The first pattern, "GOLDEN," suggests actions to capture opportunities. It emphasizes the attractiveness of a specific opportunity and directs the audience to take action by doing "X" to seize it. This sets a proactive tone for identifying and leveraging potential gains.
Next, the "OH DEAR" pattern focuses on problem-solving. It highlights the importance of addressing a significant issue, labeled as "Problem Y." The recommendation here is straightforward: by doing "X," the problem can be resolved. This approach underscores the necessity of prioritizing issues that matter.
The "THIS OR THAT" pattern presents a comparative analysis, suggesting that one option is superior for solving a particular problem. It encourages exploration of alternatives, ultimately guiding the audience to choose "X" as the best solution. This pattern is particularly useful for situations requiring critical evaluation of multiple paths.
The "TOP UP" pattern stresses the need for additional resources or efforts to achieve success. It indicates that success hinges on doing "X," which implies a need for enhancement or reinforcement of current strategies.
Lastly, the "CHANGE TACK" pattern calls for a strategic pivot. It acknowledges progress, but indicates that a change is necessary to reach desired outcomes. The recommendation to "make a change" serves as a reminder that adaptability is crucial in dynamic environments.
Overall, these patterns provide a structured framework for decision-making, making it easier for executives to formulate actionable recommendations based on varying circumstances.
