This PPT slide, part of the 56-slide Preparing Powerful Board Papers PowerPoint presentation, outlines various common patterns for delivering progress updates, specifically tailored for different contexts. Each section presents a structured approach to communicate key information effectively.

The first pattern, labeled "Progress Update – Nike," emphasizes a straightforward approach. It starts with a clear "What" indicating the need for a heads-up, followed by the "Why," which highlights significant developments. The audience question prompts engagement, asking how to proceed. The "How" section breaks down the actions required, suggesting a focus on actionable steps.

The second pattern, "Progress Update – Make the Case," mirrors the first, but shifts the emphasis to reasoning. Here, the "Why" is expanded to include multiple reasons, allowing for a more persuasive argument. This structure encourages stakeholders to consider the rationale behind the priorities set for the week.

The third pattern, "Progress Update – Oh Dear," adopts a more cautious tone. It maintains the same foundational questions, but implies a need for addressing challenges. This format could be useful in scenarios where transparency about difficulties is necessary, while still guiding the audience toward solutions.

The final pattern, "Progress Update – Nike supported by Change Tack," integrates a narrative approach. It connects past actions to current priorities, using transitional phrases to create a logical flow. This method is particularly effective for maintaining continuity in discussions and ensuring that stakeholders understand the evolution of priorities.

Overall, these patterns provide a versatile framework for crafting progress updates that can adapt to various situations, ensuring clarity and engagement with the audience.
