What is the Smart Brevity model and why is it so important?

In today's world, where information floods us from everywhere, being brief and concise has become a key skill. The Smart Brevity methodology proposes an effective way of communicating, optimizing both the sender's and the receiver's time. This approach, created by American politicians and journalists, promotes thinking sharply and communicating clearly and directly. Its potential lies not only in written communication, but also in oral communication, allowing to structure messages in a way that lightens minds and frees inboxes.

How to apply the Smart Brevity methodology?

To use the Smart Brevity model, it is essential to be clear about your target audience and follow these steps:

1. Develop an impactful headline: It should be six words long and capture attention immediately. Use it in the subject line or as the title of a post.

2. Create a memorable introduction: Tell the recipient something they don't know but should know. This is your moment to hook them.

3. Explain relevance: Emphasize why the information is important. The focus should be on the must-haves and what adds value.

4. Facilitate further exploration: Offer options to go deeper, through links or additional resources.

What are the benefits of using Smart Brevity in emails?

The application of this technique is particularly effective in emails. A clear example is when you need to communicate a project update internally. Instead of unnecessary details, it simplifies. For example:

• Subject: Changes to the project schedule.
• First line: To maintain customer satisfaction, we must reschedule.
• Reason: A blockage in the Research area forces us to move meetings.
• Benefits of the action: Anticipating would allow us to find new suitable dates.
• Additional links: Detailed project information for in-depth analysis.

This method not only improves your communication skills, but also increases the trust others may have in you.

Why can reducing words be more powerful?

A Microsoft study revealed that our average attention span has decreased from 12 seconds to 8 seconds since 2000. It is crucial to adapt communication to these times by demanding that every word counts. Bullet lists stand out for their clarity and help encapsulate vital information in a way that is easily digested.

With this approach to communication, you will gain clarity, enhance your leadership and demonstrate accountability. I invite all interested parties to practice this method and observe the positive impact it can have on your daily professional interaction. You have a powerful tool to transform how you share your ideas.
