The document discusses the 7 C's of effective communication for writing reports and professional communication. It focuses on clarity, conciseness, and completeness. For clarity, it emphasizes using simple language, structure, and examples. For conciseness, it recommends avoiding unnecessary words and filler phrases. For completeness, it advises including all necessary details like location, time, and agenda for meetings. The document provides examples of both ineffective and improved communications that demonstrate the principles discussed.
The 7 Cs provide a checklist for making sure that
your meetings, business emails, conference calls, reports,
and presentations are well constructed and clear
– so your audience gets your message.
Client Vs Good design - strategies for avoiding conflict (brought to you fresh from the field)
At some point it’s inevitable: you will be working on a great project when you are asked for changes which can potentially turn a great project into an OK one. Being a good UX’er or designer makes you care about the design outcome, so this kind of situation might present some challenges.
In this talk I present some strategies for keeping designs good, techniques for conflict avoidance, and why your “soft skills” and not just your design skills matter.

Have you ever experienced the frustration when someone just doesn’t seem to get the brilliant bit of analysis you’ve done? Or maybe you can see a clear path forwards for your clients but others just aren’t buying it?
These are common situations for consultants. You’re not alone.
In fact, it can seem that the more brilliant the insight the harder it is for people to accept it. You’re trying to change their world view after all.
That’s not easy.
Consulting is sometimes described as problem-solving. Truth is, that’s necessary but definitely insufficient. You can’t create anything valuable if your client doesn’t do something differently on the back of your advice.
You need to make a recommendation. A recommendation that leads to action.
Typically, this will be synthesised into a simple story. A Key Messages slide or an Executive Summary. Or an elevator pitch that you can articulate in a minute or two.
Getting that story right - clear, engaging, and compelling - is a foundational skill for consultants.
These slides are from a 1-hour workshop teaching how the best consultants do this. We covered three simple but powerful frameworks that you can use to consistently drive clarity, understanding and engagement.
This content will give you confidence to:
1. Structure a consulting recommendation for crystal clarity
2. Identify the key points that will help your client take a decision with confidence
3. Build an engaging narrative-led story that grabs attention
4. Open a meeting with amazing energy and involvement

Bad Example
Hi Ayyan,
I wanted to touch base with you about the email marketing
campaign we kind of sketched out last Thursday. I really think that
our target market is definitely going to want to see the company's
philanthropic efforts. I think that could make a big impact, and it
would stay in their minds longer than a sales pitch.
For instance, if we talk about the company's efforts to become
sustainable, as well as the charity work we're doing in local
schools, then the people that we want to attract are going to
remember our message longer. The impact will just be greater.
What do you think?
Ali
19. Conciseness

Good Example
Hi Ayyan,
I wanted to quickly discuss the email marketing campaign that
we analyzed last Thursday. Our target market will want to know
about the company's philanthropic efforts, especially regarding
our goals to become sustainable and to help local schools.
This would make a far greater impact, and it would stay in the
minds of people longer than a traditional sales pitch.
What do you think?

Hi Talal
I think we need to talk about the CSR campaign. I mean the
one which we need to do as a quarterly exercise. I think it is a great
way of enhancing our brand image. Basically, it would just be a visit
to an orphanage but we can sort of do other things, too. For
instance, we could take the kids out for a short trip to a nearby
park or zoo. Let us sit and talk tomorrow.

Hasan
