Communicating critical information

Came across this model today, which developed from the need for health professionals to communicate patient information:

Situation
Background
Assessment
Recommendation

Although developed for clinical settings, a useful way of communicating critical information concisely and clearly, especially to decision-makers.

In "Sales talk" this translates into the "4 Ps":

Position
Problem
Possibilities
Proposal

It means the same, but is much easier to remember.
