With our performance-improving objective in mind, we will continue to responsibly simplify and to use abstraction. Simplification is the key to understanding, and to communicating technical concepts and information. We want to make our performance presentation memorable. We want to motivate change.

By making the numbers and the concepts simple, your audience will quickly understand you and be able to draw the same striking conclusions as you have. Purposely and deliberately be imprecise, while not misleading or being incorrect. For example, unless it is absolutely necessary, do not show a number like 3.14156; instead, show 3.

If you are successful, your audience will come away with the same conviction you have in implementing the solutions. In addition to this, the decision makers will have useful information they understand, allowing them to determine what solutions should be implemented, in what order and when, and by which group.
