Business Writing for Results
Overview
The documents you produce are an important part of the public face your organisation shows. This public face will suffer if your documents are, in any way, carelessly written, pompous, bureaucratic and difficult to understand.
When you write a fax or e-mail, or compose a letter, you are not only communicating information to another person – you are presenting yourself, in writing. People judge you not only for the accuracy and completeness of your written communications, but also for the 'way it is put across'.
The course is designed to help participants develop a fluent style of writing, to help overcome common difficulties with business writing, and to inspire confidence in producing professional documents.
