When structuring a report around recommendations, use the direct approach. Then unfold your recommendations using a series of five steps:1.Establish the need for action in the introduction, generally by briefly describing the problem or opportunity.2.Introduce the benefit that can be achieved, along with any potential risks.3.List the steps (recommendations) required to achieve the benefit, using action verbs for emphasis.4.Explain each step more fully, giving details on procedures, costs, and benefits.5.Summarize your recommendations.
