This slideshow discusses the key elements of creating an effective executive summary. It recommends that an executive summary be no more than one page and include a brief introduction of the topic, the key findings or recommendations, and a conclusion with a call to action. The summary should highlight the most important elements of the full report or proposal in a concise yet compelling manner to engage the reader.
