It works in some cases.<\/p>\n<p>So if you have an audience who is really action-oriented, likes the big picture, and is really busy, then it definitely works well.<\/p>\n<p>But sometimes you have an audience where you give that conclusion first, but actually they reject what you\u2019re saying. And then even if you give reasons to back up your conclusion, you\u2019ve already lost your audience\u2019s support. They won\u2019t listen properly to what you\u2019re saying. And it\u2019s very difficult to persuade someone once they\u2019ve already made a decision.<\/p>\n<p>So in cases &#8212; in some cases &#8212; it\u2019s much better to start with the background information, start with some reasoning &#8212; especially from the audience\u2019s perspective &#8212; before you build up to your conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>This especially works well when your audience is resistant, when your audience doesn\u2019t know much about what it is that you&#8217;re proposing, and also if your audience is familiar and comfortable with the \u201ckishotenketsu\u201c structure of communication. That\u2019s a very common Japanese structure of communication where you have your starting point, you develop your story, there\u2019s a twist, and then you get to the conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>So in communication, it\u2019s all about the audience. <b>Think about who you\u2019re communicating with and then decide whether or not you should start with the conclusion. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>And if you would like more tips to help you create communication habits for success and happiness in global business, I would love it if you\u2019d come along to the <span style=\"color: #000000;\">sasugacommunications.com website<\/span> where <a href=\"https:\/\/sasugacommunications.com\/ja\/subscribe\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">you can subscribe to <\/span>Sasuga<span style=\"color: #800080;\">!
