BARBARA MINTO„S PYRAMID PRINCIPLE®
(AND SOME OTHER USEFULL STUFF TO STRUCTURE YOUR WORK)
Tools // Strategy
No one may say I didn„t convey anything new.
The order in which I presented the material was new.
(Blaise Pascal)

And thanks to…A.
WHY LEARN IT?
There is no predefined structure in „Knowledge Work“.
(Peter Drucker)
17.07.2013 BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 7
Because of what Peter said in „59B.
17.07.2013 BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 8
Imagine: Work in 1794.B.
17.07.2013 BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 9
Imagine: Work in 1794.B.
When„s it done?
How to do it?
What to do?
17.07.2013 BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 10
hu?
B. Remember: Work last week
+ it is not clear what, exactly, should be done
+ it is not clear how it should be done
+ there„s no way of telling when it will be done (well)
17.07.2013 BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 11
In other words: Getting stuff done is hard, because…B.

17.07.2013 BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 15
SO, HOW DOES IT WORK?
What, exactly, is the
question?
What is the answer
to the question?
How can the
findings be
presented?

 CCQ-Check  Issue Analysis
 DMAIC-Steps
 Story Boad
Slide Writing
Understanding of
the question, list of
actionable tasks

question, to sub-
questions

17.07.2013 BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 17
OK, LET‟S START – “NAME”.
CCQ – Context, Complication, Questions
BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 18
“CCQ” – find the question behind the questionC.
Context: Environment? Paradigm? Situation?
Complication: GIVEN? SET? GAP?
Questions: How to close GAP?
17.07.2013
17.07.2013 BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 19
AN EXAMPLE.
+ A battery manufacturer is reporting a decline in
revenues. Its batteries are best-in-class when it
comes to battery life and
reserve energy.
What do you make of this?
17.07.2013 BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 20
In other words: Getting stuff done is hard, because…B.
CCQ-Example, simplified (!)
BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 21
„CCQ“ leads to questions which can be used to adress the
case.
C.
C: Business, market paradigm, declining revenue
C: GIVEN: decline, SET: growth
Q: Can we grow revenue? If so, how?
17.07.2013
The Revenue Paradigm
17.07.2013 BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 22
„Environment“, „Paradigm“ and „Situation“ often hint towards
standard approaches which can be used to proceed.
D.
sales price
X
+ „ How can we increase sales?“
+ „How can we raise prices?“
17.07.2013 BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 23
So, in the battery case, there seem to be two CCQ-QuestionsC.
From: switchboard@jcnetwork.com Datum: Dienstag

Subject: Meeting
Hi Flo,
Friederike Bauer hat angerufen und gesagt, dass sie nicht am Meeting um
15.00 Uhr teilnehmen kann. Ich hab dann mal mit den anderen
gesprochen. Sabine Hammermeister hat gemeint, ihr macht„s nichts aus,
wenn ihr euch später oder morgen trefft, aber nicht vor 10.30 Uhr. Robert
Friedrichs Assistentin sagt, er kommt erst morgen spätabends aus Mailand
zurück. Der Konferenzraum ist morgen geblockt, aber am Donnerstag
wäre er frei. Donnerstag 11.00 Uhr sieht gut aus. Wäre das OK für Dich?
VG, JL
17.07.2013 BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 24
But then – it does not have to be a business case…C.
„ Die Zusammenziehungen, Verwechslungen und
Durchblickstäuschungen, die die Höllenfahrt des Einleitungskapitels als für
das mythische Bewusstsein charakteristische Verhaltensweise angesichts
eines ‚stilleren, stummeren, gleicheren Zeitgebreites„ mit langsameren
Entwicklungsgefälle beschreibt – so hält Joseph in Wissen ‚träumerischer
Ungenauigkeit„ Abraham für seinen Urgroßvater, ohne zu bemerken, dass
eine Zeitspanne von wenigstens zwanzig Generationen ihn von Abraham
trennen muss –, lassen ein personales Bewusstsein sich entfalten, das
gleichsam….“
(Kindlers Literaturlexikon)

But then – it does not have to be a business case…C.

17.07.2013 BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 27
OK, ON TO „SOLVE“
BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 28
Answering the CCQ question may require taking a heuristic
approach – no problem, just keep things under control.

Open Questions
„How can we increase demand?“
Closed questions
“Should we change the product?“
“Can we lower prices?“
“Is our promotion good enough?“
“Do we sell at the right places?”“
BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 31
To create hypotheses, change your „open“ CCQ- and sub-
questions to „closed“ questions.
D.
17.07.2013
More revenue?
Should we change
the product?
Can we lower
prices?
Is our promotion
good enough?
Do we sell at the
right places?
BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 32
Structure your hypotheses in order to get a hierarchical
structure of „actionable“. Then, define actions.
D.
(e.g. cost
analysis
(e.g. POS-
benchmark
(e.g. market
research, value

A good set of hypotheses is „GENDER“D.
Similar to „MECE“ – „mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive“

Remember those actions we defined two slides ago? Now‟s
the time to do them…

HYPOTHESES, FINDINGS ALL
SET UP? WELL, THEN ON TO
„SHOW“
BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 36
4 Rules for structuring
1. Every content element
sums up the contents
of the elements below
2. All elements are
mutually exclusive
3. Elements of similar
importance are placed
at the same level
4. Elements of each
level are arranged in
logical order
The top-down structure of your hypotheses forms the
structure of your report. Hypotheses first, findings second.
E.

Order by
Order your report„s elements by time, structure or ranking.E.
 Breaking down a whole into its parts
 Usually following known structures
„Supply – Manufacturing – Distribution – Sales“
 Chronological order
 Usually in pyramidal structure – from ends to means
„To achieve Z, we need to do two things – Y and X“
time
 Structured e.g. by importance of the adressed issues
 Four questions, five reasons, six variables etc.
„Restructure Operations, Sales, HR“

17.07.2013 BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 40
Now, slidewrite!
Never use a title that says little or nothing.
And do not put everything you are going to say up on a slide.
It is very annoying, since people usually go „Dude!? What is
the point of being here? Just send me your slides, and I will
read them in my own time, without you.“ Remember: You„re
giving a presentation, not a document. So – spare us the
document-look, keep it at a few lines of text per slide.
17.07.2013 BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 41
Mistake No. 1
Worse!
Bad!
17.07.2013 BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 42
60%
40%
"schlecht"
"gut"
Viele der Studierenden schätzen ihre Berufsaussichten
selbst als „schlecht“ ein – fehlende Kenntnisse und
Beziehungen.
Frage: „ Wie schätzen Sie Ihre Aussichten ein, nach dem Studium eine angemessene Beschäftigung zu finden? “
n = 900 Studierende der GW
nach: Multrus, Bargel, Leitow , 2001
Deshalb „schlecht“:
» „Ich lerne zu wenig Fach-
und Methodenwissen.“
» „Mein Studium ist nicht
berufsbezogen.“
» „Mir fehlen Beziehungen zu
möglichen Arbeitgebern.“

  • 24. From: switchboard@jcnetwork.com Datum: Dienstag An: florian.goerres@jcnetwork.com Subject: Meeting Hi Flo, Friederike Bauer hat angerufen und gesagt, dass sie nicht am Meeting um 15.00 Uhr teilnehmen kann. Ich hab dann mal mit den anderen gesprochen. Sabine Hammermeister hat gemeint, ihr macht„s nichts aus, wenn ihr euch später oder morgen trefft, aber nicht vor 10.30 Uhr. Robert Friedrichs Assistentin sagt, er kommt erst morgen spätabends aus Mailand zurück. Der Konferenzraum ist morgen geblockt, aber am Donnerstag wäre er frei. Donnerstag 11.00 Uhr sieht gut aus. Wäre das OK für Dich? VG, JL 17.07.2013 BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 24 But then – it does not have to be a business case…C.

  • 31. Open Questions „How can we increase demand?“ Closed questions “Should we change the product?“ “Can we lower prices?“ “Is our promotion good enough?“ “Do we sell at the right places?”“ BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 31 To create hypotheses, change your „open“ CCQ- and sub- questions to „closed“ questions. D. 17.07.2013
  • 32. More revenue? Should we change the product? Can we lower prices? Is our promotion good enough? Do we sell at the right places? BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 32 Structure your hypotheses in order to get a hierarchical structure of „actionable“. Then, define actions. D.

  • 36. BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 36 4 Rules for structuring 1. Every content element sums up the contents of the elements below 2. All elements are mutually exclusive 3. Elements of similar importance are placed at the same level 4. Elements of each level are arranged in logical order The top-down structure of your hypotheses forms the structure of your report. Hypotheses first, findings second. E. Main hypothesis Hyp. 1 Hyp. 2 Hyp. 3 A 1.1 A 1.2 Details 17.07.2013
  • 37. BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 37 Order by Order your report„s elements by time, structure or ranking.E.  Breaking down a whole into its parts  Usually following known structures „Supply – Manufacturing – Distribution – Sales“  Chronological order  Usually in pyramidal structure – from ends to means „To achieve Z, we need to do two things – Y and X“ time  Structured e.g. by importance of the adressed issues  Four questions, five reasons, six variables etc. „Restructure Operations, Sales, HR“ structure ranking 17.07.2013

  • 41. Never use a title that says little or nothing. And do not put everything you are going to say up on a slide. It is very annoying, since people usually go „Dude!? What is the point of being here? Just send me your slides, and I will read them in my own time, without you.“ Remember: You„re giving a presentation, not a document. So – spare us the document-look, keep it at a few lines of text per slide. 17.07.2013 BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 41 Mistake No. 1 Worse! Bad!
  • 42. 17.07.2013 BarbaraMinto„s PyramidPrinciple® 42 60% 40% "schlecht" "gut" Viele der Studierenden schätzen ihre Berufsaussichten selbst als „schlecht“ ein – fehlende Kenntnisse und Beziehungen. Frage: „ Wie schätzen Sie Ihre Aussichten ein, nach dem Studium eine angemessene Beschäftigung zu finden? “ n = 900 Studierende der GW nach: Multrus, Bargel, Leitow , 2001 Deshalb „schlecht“: » „Ich lerne zu wenig Fach- und Methodenwissen.“ » „Mein Studium ist nicht berufsbezogen.“ » „Mir fehlen Beziehungen zu möglichen Arbeitgebern.“ „Monitor“ for visualisation Data visualisation Source „Action title“ Studenten fehlt Selbstwert-Gefühl „Take away“
