Every written or verbal communication needs a structure. The three-act structure stands the test of time because it is a straightforward, efficient structure that works effectively with our human thinking processes. An example of the three-act structure is the series "Communicating with FINESSE" on Accendo Reliability.
There is still time to jump into the second act if you have not followed from the beginning.
Act I (the Opening) establishes the foundation and frames what is to come. Act II (the Main Body) provides the heart of the matter, including the twists and surprises along the way. Act III (the Close) brings the audience back down and charts the direction for the future.

Effective communication comes down to the systems thinking that is the foundation of Communicating with FINESSE. And systems thinking includes the structure as well as the content.
