Do customers and clients get confused about what you’re trying to say and need your staff to spend valuable time explaining it?
Does your time-poor management team have to ‘translate’ poorly written or clumsily ordered emails, reports and board papers? Do team messages get ‘lost’ in rambling email chains? Are daily communications hindering growth or efficiency? If you answered yes to any of these questions, we can help.
Since 2000, our tailored onsite, offsite or virtual, business writing courses have been showing staff Australia-wide how to write in a simple, concise, logically ordered way that suits their audience. Courses we offer include:
- Writing better board papers
- Report writing
- Writing better emails, letters and other communications
- How to write plain English
- How to write killer blogs
- Writing better policy documents
- Writing Ministerials and other briefing documents
We can also tailor business writing courses just for you.
Our courses are tailor-made to your needs, just let us know what you want to achieve. But generally we’ll teach your staff:
- How to write for time poor decision makers
- The art of capturing the reader’s attention
- How to write clear, concise plain English
- How to write for different audiences
- What to consider before you start, to guarantee the right outcome
