You are asked to explain a complex insight to a non-technical executive. How do you approach it?

< 1 min read

First, I would focus on the key business takeaway rather than technical details.
I would use simple language, avoiding jargon or statistical terms.
I would relate the insight to a decision or action the executive can take.
In one project, I explained churn analysis by saying, “We are losing 15% of our new customers each month, mostly from region X,” instead of showing formulas.
I would use visuals like bar charts, trend lines, or simple comparisons to illustrate the point.
I would provide context by comparing to benchmarks or past performance.
I would check for understanding by asking if the insight makes sense and if they see the impact.
I would summarize the action or recommendation clearly at the end.
This ensures the executive grasps the insight without needing technical expertise.
