The most important thing in my opinion is showing them simplified yet informative graphics.

In any topic and for information where you can provide graphics do it.

For software projects UML diagrams has become the standard in planning and modelling your software, for a good reason. Not only the programmers will understand them but also the management and clients. Storyboards (GUI-screen-shots with functionality description) also help a great deal here.

InformationIsBeatiful is a great example of how you can abstract very complex things, numbers and tables into easily understandable diagrams.
