Our one-day Writing Effective Reports training teaches how to rapidly create effective business reports that are reader-focused and persuasive. Effective report writing is an essential skill for both the individual and the business. For the individual, it is a career skill that can make a huge difference to how you are perceived within your field. For the business, effective internal and external reports increase efficiency, profitability and employee and customer satisfaction.
During the course delegates learn how to:
Plan reports to target readers and achieve objectives. You will learn how to produce compelling recommendations that are easy to read, understand and act upon. Meanwhile you will use the pyramid structure of reports to appeal to differing groups of readers. You will learn how to improve understanding of documents by structuring information in a way that is helpful to the reader and develop a clear, persuasive writing style. This course is structured so that your own report templates can be integrated into the course flow.
