Why the business exists
Knowledge is not the same as communication
Technical experts often have more knowledge than they can fit into the time available.
The challenge is not simply reducing information. It is deciding what matters to this audience, in this situation, and finding the clearest way to communicate it.
elucidation uk helps individuals and teams make those decisions, create the right supporting material and deliver it with confidence.
The AMY planning model
Audience, Message and You
Audience
Who are they? What do they know and care about? What decision or action follows?
Message
What is the central idea? Which evidence supports it? What should remain when the detail fades?
You
How will your voice, body, visual support and personal style help the audience understand and trust the message?
