- often used with clients who require written reports but are able to do
without formality
3. Discussion outlines
4. Graphic summaries
- combines highlighted wording with graphic symbols in order to convey
information quickly and clearly
5. Charts, Diagrams, Layouts, and Matrix Arrays
- Charts or diagrams constitute the entire written presentation
- Flowcharts of various types may represent a complete work product
for the consultant
- Matrix arrays can be particularly useful for conveying alternatives and
recommended actions to clients
6. Prospectuses and Manuals

and are usually accompanied by a brief transmittal letter
