“Executive Summaries

.

Executive Summaries are much like any other summary in that their main goal is to provide a condensed version of the content of a longer report.

.

The executive summary is usually no longer than 10% of the original document. It can be anywhere from 1-10 pages long, depending on the report's length. Executive summaries are written literally for an executive who most likely DOES NOT have the time to read the original [document].

Executive summaries make a recommendation. Accuracy is essential because decisions will be made based on your summary by people who have not read the original.

.

Executive summaries frequently summarize more than one document”
