Explanation: The Key Topic Brief is a short document designed for training staff (CEO to Crew Member.) Like a brief for an official in government it quickly covers essential information and cites the sources of that information. The idea is to make information in a book, book chapter, podcast, video etc. easily readable in 2-3 minutes that otherwise would take 10 minutes to several hours to cover. Then if further study is needed the original sources are cited and available.
