How Exactly to Use the S.Co.R.E. Method

Especially when you are still starting out, it helps to use colored index cards; you’ll need yellow (for situations), red (for complications), green (for resolutions), and blue (for examples). It’s not strictly necessary—you could do this with just a piece of paper and a pencil—but it is useful to be able to move the pieces around as you think through your outline.

Situation

Take a yellow card. Write the word “Situation” at the top left of the card. Immediately below that, write down a one-sentence reason for your presentation: “We are here today to discuss. . . .” This should be something that everyone in the room will agree with. Often this is the generic form of the problem that you are dealing with. So if the problem is “Our pricing is too high,” then the situation could be “We’re here today to talk about pricing.”

Don’t spend more than a few seconds on the situation. How much time should you spend covering the background that they already know? If it’s clear that they already know it, then just mention it and move on quickly. If there are essential parts of the background that you’re not sure people are familiar with, or if you have an original take on some aspect of the background, then include this information within a complication, resolution, or example, but not in the situation.
