Preparing to Write an Executive Summary
It is important to keep in mind to whom you are writing your summary. Your audience may not be versed in the technical language of your profession and may only focus on specific business needs.
The executive summary should address these main points:
· Purpose
· What is the point of the document? Are you trying to influence management? Are you trying to make a change in a hospital? Make sure you have a purpose when writing the summary.
· Problem
· What issue needs addressing? Why is it an issue? Why are you where you are?
· Problem Analysis
· What can be changed or improved?
· Results of analysis
· What did you find while researching the issue? What methods did you use? How do you know your resources are valid, reliable, and credible?
· Recommendations
· What can you do to address this issue? How will you achieve your recommendations? How will this help? What action can be taken?
Writing the Executive Summary
Keep in mind that the executive summary is the first thing your reader is going to see and may be the only thing your reader will look through before making a decision about action or inaction. Be sure to use concise language and bullet points to present your ideas. Here is an example of a way to organize your summary:
· Define the problem, need, or goal
· Define the decision that needs to be made
· Define the expected outcome and provide the reasons why they should choose the option that you want
· Define the solution and how you reached the solution
· End with a call to action
Remember, your summary should grab the reader's attention. Lay out why this is so important and how it will benefit/impact them and/or the business. Be sure to use language that relates to them and avoid any technical jargon.
When writing an executive summary for assignment or deliverable submission, follow the APA guidelines found in the APA Guide .
Common Mistakes
An executive summary is NOT:
· An abstract
· An introduction
· A preface
· A random collection of highlights
An executive summary is a stand-alone document and should make sense without any other information. You will want to avoid these common mistakes when writing your summary:
· Do not get too lengthy or wordy – keep it to 3-5 pages
· Do not cut and paste information
· Avoid excessive subtitles and lists
· Do not get too technical
· Do not use passive or imprecise language
All the format, topic and instructions are attached below in the pdf. This whole assignment has to be made on a specific topic assigned to each student. The topic assigned to me is-
IMPRESSIONISM, POST-IMPRESSIONISM, FAUVISM
– Victor & Rolf, Spring/Summer 2015 collection.
ART103_WI24_A3.1_ ASSIGNMENT 3
Due: beginning of class Week 6
Learning Outcomes:
• Investigate relationships between formal elements in art and their thematic, historical, cultural, and/or ideological context.
• Demonstrate a basic understanding of art historical terminology.
• Apply visual evidence to support ideas about artwork in various media through discussion, written, studio, and other assignments.
• Recognize common currents and contrasting characteristics of different periods and art movements.
Assignment Description:
You will write a short essay to increase your ability to form connections between the art/design of the historic past, the present, and the future, expressing your own opinions and conclusions. Assignment Brief (specifics):
• Research either social/moral concerns or the aesthetic concerns of contemporary design that were also reflected in historical art styles.
• Choose a current (within the past 25-30 years), specific example from your design discipline that expresses that concern (for example, the lobby of a hotel; a designer’s couture collection; a line of décor objects from one design firm).
• In your short essay, you will compare and contrast the concerns of the past with current trends and concerns as seen in your example.
o Tell the reader how that concern is still relevant today. o Examine how the artist/designer of the 21st century interacts with history and what our
responsibilities or debts are to the art/design of the past.
• DON’T WRITE A REVIEW ABOUT THE HISTORICAL STYLE/PERIOD. If you do, you’ll get a failing mark.
• Your writing should be your opinions, conclusions, and/or reflections, expressed in your own words. You must defend your opinions and assertions with the current real-world example of design.
• There is no need to quote any other source.
Pick one of the following concerns: AESTHETIC or SOCIO-POLITICAL
• The Expression of Authentic Emotions (Symbolism, Expressionism): the extreme expressions of the inner self, emotional darkness, the life of the mind or soul brought to design
• The Optical (Impressionism): changing how we see; light and shadow and colour!
Write 1-2 pages that clearly and completely express and explain in detail
• Why you believe this concern is important in your creative discipline today (important to the designer, the audience, the consumer or end-user, the discipline itself). Why do we need it? Why do we like it? How is it useful?
• How this concern is expressed in a specific, existing, contemporary design o Refer to specific elements of the design in your analysis (color, line, editing, materials, etc.)
• How that contemporary design is similar to and/or different from examples from the historical period. Be specific!
• Import 3 or more images onto the second page of your essay that illustrate your assertions. Cite your source(s) for these images in captions (URL is fine).
• The first paragraph must have a topic sentence that tells the reader what the essay will explain/assert.
