The One-Page Report

“Have you been in situations in which you need to communicate large amounts of information or numbers of ideas to a group of people, but find that you have no tool to do this effectively? Do you remember the last time you came home angry from work because your boss had just told you to do something that simply didn’t make sense? Or the time you had a long discussion with one of your staff because they just didn’t get what you wanted them to do? If so, the one-pager is what you have been looking for.”

“The authors show how to use Microsoft Excel® to create an information overview, a proposal, or a problem-solving process that can be simply captured on one A3 page. It is an easy read and a must-have for anyone looking to improve their managerial effectiveness – in any organisation. A good desktop manual for any business leader.”

“In an increasingly complex and cut-throat business world, those who hope to gain or retain their competitive edge require faster and leaner work methods and tools which can simplify this complexity in tangible ways. This book describes just such a methodology, and as a bonus it is presented in an easy-to-use-and-digest format.”
