THESE THREE THINGS
At the Centre for Crisis & Risk Communications, we love the “Rule of Three”. The “Rule of Three” is a principle indicating that information or actions presented in groups of three are inherently more satisfying, persuasive, and easier to remember than other numbers. This seemingly simple cognitive observation has its roots deeply embedded in the neuronal processes of the human brain.
