The Minto Pyramid Principle, a communication framework, advocates for a top-down approach to convey messages effectively which is usually the opposite of putting it together. Beginning with a conclusion, it guides communicators to present key arguments concisely. Finally, supporting those arguments with detailed information enhances the overall impact, creating a structured and persuasive communication style. This approach enables easy to pick just enough content for the receiver of the message.
Start with the Conclusion
Make a clear and direct impact using your conclusion/recommendation as the first thing in your message/text.
Provide Key Arguments
Build on the initial conclusion by presenting concise key points/arguments that serve as the supporting pillars for your conclusion.
Support Points with Detailed Information
