I know that as many other business guys you can’t do without executive reports. So let me offer you just a brief manual how to write these reports. It goes without saying that executive reports should be brief and accurate. Certainly they should be quite objective explaining a particular situation in business. They should provide us with relevant facts. From highly informative reports anybody learns what needs to be done to properly address a certain situation. But before writing executive reports you’d better ask some questions to clarify certain things. It’s clear that you need to be aware of such important details as the purpose of your executive reports as well as general expectations. And accordingly any person who reads your reports needs to know for sure what the issue is and what should be done to deal with it. You should do your best to write reports that would be properly understood and then acted upon.
Now let me enumerate some essentials of a typical executive report. First of all you should consider the subject or topic of your report. Then you should specify the name as well as designation of the guy who prepared this particular report. Don’t forget about such details as reference and date.
Then you should consider a contents page or in other words listing if it’s a lengthy report. Then shift to the objective of your report. If it’s necessary you can certainly specify such details as authority and state scope.
You should devote a couple of pages to your executive summary. Of course the background of the subject shouldn’t be ignored too. It goes without saying that you need to mention all the threats, strengths, issues, opportunities and certainly effects. It’s clear that everything needs to be substantiated with true facts and figures. You should realize that it’s the main body of your executive report and as follows from this you need to pay a special attention to the content.
Now I’d like to give you just a few recommendations on solutions. So you need to include some alternate solutions where it’s really necessary of course. Every solution needs to be supported by the resultant impacts. You should clearly state what should be done. Specify all the implications in your executive reports.
It goes without saying that there should be a clear call for action in your executive report. Then you should deal with acknowledgments. You need to identify the key resource guys who have helped you with this particular executive report.
As with other reports you should keep your executive reports quite short and certainly objective. Keep in mind that your reports should provide people with factual information on a particular event or situation. I hope that you’ll succeed in doing this.
