Module 32 ยท The Executive Summary

One finding, one instruction

By the end of this module you will be able to
  • Compress a study to one finding and one action.
  • Write an executive summary that stands alone.
  • Lead with what matters most.

The executive summary is the whole brief boiled down to one sentence of finding and one sentence of action. If a director reads nothing else, they read this.

Finding

Low coverage traced back to one of two fixable gaps every time: a broken cold chain or missing supervision.

Recommendation

Close both gaps, facility by facility. Resist the urge to spread the budget across activities that this data shows do not move the needle.

Reflect

Boil your study down.

  • If a director read only your summary, would they know what to do?
  • Is the single most important point truly at the top?
