在职场上，学会正确沟通的重要性超出你的想象。但最后只有很少人能成功。提案没有通过，原因不在数据和PPT，它们只是浮在表面的问题，更重要的是要把观点用便于理解的方式表述出来，而且要具体而明确，有清晰的逻辑。同时，建议要能兼顾各方利益、展示出提案所能达成的效果。最后再选择一个合适的沟通方式。

如果思维不清晰，你零敲碎打来影响人的法子不过是花拳绣腿。如果影响不彰显，你自得意的思维洞见不过是孤芳自赏。把这本书中“结构化思维”的九步骤拆成自己的能力吧，它将外显为你的影响力，内化为你的思维力。

在职场上，正确沟通的重要性远远超出我们的想象。
大家都知道，只有把观点和建议表达清晰，才能获得领导、同行和客户的认同。为了实现这一目标，很多职场人士花费了大把时间和精力，来收集收据、制作图表、反复修改PPT，但最后只有很少的人能成功。
•《极简思考》告诉我们：
失败的原因，不在于分析问题的能力，而在于解决问题的能力。
•本书提供了一种解决问题的简单方法——结构化思维过程。
不同于 “从数据得出结论”的传统方法，“结构化思维过程”以论点作为核心来构建整体方案，在初期就将重点放在提出容易理解的假设上，并找出沟通对象的利益触动点，通过合理引导让对方得出我们的结论。

Topic on Structured problem-solving is need of the hour and elegant pitch delivers the content perfectly. I have seen managers boiling the ocean without a clear oversight on the problem and thoroughly not structured. This obviously results in, insane working hours and frustrated team with no clear direction
Elegant pitch can be applied anywhere in your business environment and helps you to have Structured thought-process. You can apply the same framework rigorously if you're pitching for a business case or if you are in any problem-solving session

A very insightful book and full of content that actually makes sense. I have tried the method mentioned in the book once and it did work. Once you complete the book you will see that you are able to align yourself with the learnings and once you do, you will start getting the confidence to implement it more and more. The books purpose is precise, the content is precise and we the audience who read are also precise.
One thing I disagree with was the approach where your 'Nemesis' is involved. It's not always that the nemesis will be against you. Sometimes, they will readily agree with you and see you fail on purpose. That sort of destroys the purpose on getting the project/approach reviewed by a 'Nemesis'.

Create a hypothesis - research and probe it or probe it wrong - answer what and why.
Iterate as much as possible and refine in each step.
Create a story - rely on hard facts. Be ready for objections.

Practical advices and working methods to build a convincing pitch. A good book for hypotheses testing iterations

some key points are quite useful - seek the input from stakeholder and even opponent to sharpen your idea; make sure to use the right sequence to present your idea...
