Purpose of an Executive Summary:
The purpose of an Executive Summary is to provide a concise summary of the key highlights of the P3 Analysis. The reader should have a brief description of the project and understand how the project improves the overall efficiency and/or effectiveness of the public sector if delivered by a P3 procurement method.
Description:
While the Executive Summary appears at the beginning of the P3 analysis, it is written last.
The Executive Summary will describe the objective of the project, the current state of the problem and the resulting P3 opportunity. It outlines the scope of the project, provides a brief description of the business impact, and the risks of undertaking the project as P3 procurement. Finally, it concludes with recommendations and the financial impact of the project. This summary should also be written with the media in mind as this is often the only part of a report that the media read. The Executive Summary is also often used to prepare a press release.
The summary should be a maximum of 2 pages in length.
Checklist for Executive Summary:
1. Does it provide an overall summary of the contents of the P3 Analysis?
2. Does it contain any information that is not contained in the body of the P3 Analysis? (should not)
3. Is the Executive Summary less than 2 pages?
4. Can the Executive Summary be treated as a stand-alone document?
