Figure 10-3. Considerations during planning<br />
COLLECT INFORMATION AND CONSTRUCT THE BRIEFING<br />
10-19. The briefing construction varies with type <strong>and</strong> purpose. (See Figure 10-4.) The analysis of the<br />
briefing determines the basis for this. Briefers follow these key steps to prepare a briefing:<br />
� Collect materials needed.<br />
� Prepare first draft.<br />
� Revise first draft <strong>and</strong> edit.<br />
� Plan use of visual aids.<br />
� Practice.<br />
DELIVER THE BRIEFING<br />
10-20. The success of a briefing depends on a concise, objective, accurate, clearly enunciated, <strong>and</strong><br />
forceful delivery. The briefer must also be confident <strong>and</strong> relaxed. The briefer should consider the<br />
following:<br />
� The basic purpose is to present the subject as directed <strong>and</strong> ensure the audience underst<strong>and</strong>s it.<br />
� Brevity precludes a lengthy introduction or summary.<br />
� Conclusions <strong>and</strong> recommendations must flow logically from facts <strong>and</strong> assumptions.<br />
