How often do you stare at uninviting and confusing presentations, notes, reports and information packs and get nothing out of them?  It doesn’t have to be like this. We could all produce amazingly clear work that has incredible impact – if only we knew how.  This book shows you how. It is full of ideas, tips and principles that are simple and easy to implement, yet brilliantly effective.You will never look at a business document in the same way again.  And your work will impress the people that matter and get the results you want.

 

 

It guides you through the most effective ways of using all forms of presenting information - tables, charts, slides, flowcharts, etc. Moon also introduces the new WiT (Words in Tables) approach to give impact to your message on all documents and slides.
