How to write an annual report

Five steps from a year of data to a report people actually read end to end.

Five steps to a readable report

  1. Gather the numbers

    Pull the year's key metrics and milestones.

  2. Find the narrative

    What story did the year tell? Lead with it.

  3. Write the leadership message

    Honest, specific, forward-looking.

  4. Design the flow

    Hero, numbers, milestones, what's next.

  5. Publish and share

    One link, any device.
