Ever wondered how to make your arguments at work more compelling and structured? Let's look at a powerful tool for framing arguments that ensures your main message stands out clearly and persuasively.
🔼 At the top of any pyramid, place your main message or desired action. This is the core of your argument, the key takeaway you want your audience to remember.
🔽 Beneath that, layer your supporting arguments, each backed by solid data and evidence. This foundation reinforces your central message, making your argument stronger and more convincing.
📐 Charles Conn recommends these three framework types to build out these pyramids:
1️⃣ Argument Structure:
First, suggest a change. Then, detail the problem with evidence, explain the cause with proof, and propose a solution supported by data. This structure cycles back to reinforce the main message at the top.
2️⃣ Grouping Structure:
Start with your governing thought. Then, branch out into subcategories (A, B, C), each advocating specific changes with clear reasons. This pyramid is ideal for when your argument has multiple facets.
