Executive Summary Instructions

Please email a one-page Executive Summary to exsum@ibecc.net by Wednesday, April 10. We will see that the judges can access them ahead of time. Please send this as a pdf file. Also, please bring 10 hard copies with you to the competition.

Note: Going longer than 400 words will count against you. Please be succinct.

The Executive Summary should include: the names and information of your team members; your fictional business identify (consulting group, internal task force, etc.); the audience whom the judges should imagine themselves to be (senior managers, board of directors, etc); an outline of your presentation; and a one or two paragraph summary of the content of your talk.

You should summarize your argument, not simply describe the issue you will address.

A particularly good example from 2023 can be found here.
