This PPT slide, part of the 56-slide Preparing Powerful Board Papers PowerPoint presentation, outlines a structured approach for presenting recommendations effectively. It emphasizes the importance of using a hybrid structure to compartmentalize various elements of a recommendation. The grouping structure allows for distinct reasoning to support each proposed action or priority, which is crucial for clarity and impact in communication.

The slide suggests starting with a straightforward introduction that sets the context for the recommendation. Following this, it encourages the use of one of the outlined structures to build a compelling narrative. The right side of the slide presents a flowchart format that breaks down the recommendation into actionable components, categorized under "What," "Why," and "How." This segmentation aids in logically organizing thoughts and ensuring that each part of the recommendation is thoroughly addressed.

The "What" section prompts the presenter to define the situation or issue at hand. The "Why" section allows for an explanation of the rationale behind the recommendation, providing context and justification. The "How" section focuses on the execution of the recommended actions, detailing the steps necessary to implement the proposal.

This structured approach not only enhances the clarity of the recommendation, but also facilitates a more persuasive argument. By compartmentalizing the information, the presenter can address potential objections and reinforce the rationale behind each action. This method is particularly valuable for C-level executives who require concise, well-supported recommendations that can drive decision-making.
