Business Communication Layering: Technical Content For Different Audiences
Tagline: Layering works well as a template for summarising almost all business and technical content: a useful, valuable, legal pyramid scheme. [20 words]
Plain language summary:
Layering is a good technique for anyone writing business or technical content who wants to put across strong messages to different audiences.
It’s powerful, adaptable and based on a simple idea. Your reader matters. Your readers matter.
The template assumes you’re trying to reach different audiences who don’t have the same level of expertise. Or don’t have much time. Or both.
Using a layered summary approach helps you reach everyone you need to. There’s something for everyone, technical expert or general reader, whether they have seconds to spare or much longer.
And you don’t need to worry about what to leave out. Because you can throw the kitchen sink into your final ‘resources’ section.
The extra detail won’t distract or crowd out your summary messaging. But it’s available for anyone who really wants to know more, leaving you to focus on what really matters: the message and your main content.
