I learned this method at an interviewing workshop at University of London, but it is one that is used for further afield - valuable for summaries and presentations.
Situation Task Analysis Result = STAR MIT has a website that explains STAR. I found it very useful to curtail long narratives - coming from Virginia telling stories comes naturally - because often communication is about getting to the point. STAR helps me think through to not only my analysis but also the result - the point.
This approach is particularly helpful in management situations where time does not allow long discussion. It also structures the thinking process so that meandering thoughts - serve a purpose. It is not about exploring as much as explaining.
