Structure recommendations around the effect they are meant to cause
If you have discovered the solution to your reader’s problem, it is now your job to convince her to take action
Essentially, when giving a recommendation, you make an action statement that describes the actions aimed at achieving a desired effect. This being the case, you should group your actions around the effect you are aiming for and describe the effect so tangibly that you will later know whether or not it has been achieved.
e.g
Examine things:
--Examine factory efficiency.
--Examine customer satisfaction.
Increase training:
--Increase factory staff training.
--Increase sales training.
Increase sales by 5% in the next quarter:
--Examine customer satisfaction.
--Increase sales training.
Cut production costs by 2% in the next quarter:
--Examine factory efficiency.
--Increase factory staff training.
