I found the Hemingway style of getting to the point in simple English is the best way to get my point across. There are several apps that will help you write like Hemingway.
Get to the point. Usually in the first two paragraphs. The entire meat of a memo or chapter is on one page. The rest of the memo or chapter is supporting material with examples, clarifications, diagrams, and context showing how this idea relates to a different idea.
In meetings, I usually present only the first page or one diagram that summarizes the entire memo. I usually tell people to read the whole thing if they want more details.
I am also in the habit of sharing my drafts with a lot of people so they know what I am up to. By the time it’s completed the audience has probably already seen it twice . This helps with buy-in. As I have already met with people who have concerns or objections.
