The Pyramid Principle
About this book
Minto's method for structuring written and spoken argument. Ideas form a pyramid where each level summarises the ones below, groups are either deductive or inductive, and the introduction follows a situation, complication, question and answer sequence. Also covers logical ordering within a group and how to reflect the structure in headings. Dense, and the source of the top down communication style used across consulting.
