Business Writing Training
Your Objectives...
No business will have quite the same balance of needs as any other. When designing an in-house business writing course, we take the time to understand your overall objectives and to discuss with you in detail what you want to achieve. Depending on your budget, we can provide various levels of follow-up support to participants.
To ensure maximum impact, it's often worth having a mix of people from different levels within the organisation. This helps change the culture of communication, where everyone follows an established style.
...Our Approach
All business writing is about communication. We look at the types of writing that people do, what types of message they are trying to communicate, and how they can do this more effectively.
We look at the mental process of writing; discuss ways to conquer writing-related fear and anxiety; explore the purpose of the different types of writing needed in businesses, and provide tools that participants can use to improve every piece of writing they do – forever.
Applied Learning
Our business writing courses are very practical - if you want to know what a predication adjunct is, we're probably not for you. We take core themes and apply them to day-to-day writing tasks.
Key concepts include:
- The process of writing: what helps and what hinders.
- Clear thinking: deciding on the message, arranging the ideas.
- The readers’ perspective.
- Writing for impact.
- Accurate use of grammar and punctuation.
- The importance of straightforward language for clarity and conciseness.
Flexibility
Our flexible approach makes our writing training suitable for people at various levels in an organisation.
By providing training in effective writing for new recruits, you can maximise their contribution to the business at an early stage.
When you develop the writing skills of existing teams, you stimulate change in your organisation’s culture of communication.
For an individual preferring one-to-one support, private coaching is the ideal way to meet specific writing needs.
