5.0 out of 5 stars
Easy principles to get organized,
By Bruce Gabrielle "author, Speaking PowerPoint" (Kirkland, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Minto Pyramid Principle: Logic in Writing, Thinking, & Problem Solving (Hardcover)
One of the first steps in building an effective business presentation or document is getting your thoughts organized. I found the Pyramid Principle head and shoulders above any other book I've read.Barbara's concepts are simple and intuitive, but take a bit of practice to master. Once you do, you find yourself organizing all your communications -- emails, PowerPoint decks, blog articles -- along her principles. The effect is clearer and more interesting writing. I recommend this book to all my workshop participants. It's a must-read for business managers.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Best book I've read on framing toughts and writing,
By Sam (Overalnd Park, KS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Minto Pyramid Principle: Logic in Writing, Thinking, & Problem Solving (Hardcover)
In this book, Babara Minto uses easy to understand principle and clear text to explain how an author should organize his thoughts so that the reader can easily comprehend them.The principle of the structure is a concise abstraction of all the good practices that I've seen. Because of it's simple structure the Pyramid Principle is also easy to remember and attempt to apply. This book takes the mistery out of good technical writing for me. A well writen article is about well organized thoughts with good supporting points that answers the one central question in readers mind. The difficulty of writing elegantly will still be in the detailed organization of the points (introduction, question and answers) into the structure. Babara has provided fine points to help guide those activities in her book as well. This has become a reference book in my backpack next to my laptop.

1.0 out of 5 stars
One of the most over-rated books consultant never read,
By Koala (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Minto Pyramid Principle: Logic in Writing, Thinking, & Problem Solving (Hardcover)
Nothing like taking a perfectly simple concept, make it sound as complex as possible by adding enough buzz words like "time order" or "sequential analysis" and shoe-horned them into some sort of generic S-C-Q order, brand it a mystique name like "Pyramid Principle", then package it into a consulting "methodology". The whole concept can be summarized as follow,- Start with a broad summary, tell a story to set the scene. - Arrange ideas into related groups. - Provide supporting evidence, dig deeper into details. Most people learn that in college if not high school, nothing special really. NB: my copy is a revised 2009 edition.
