Business Writing That Works

For those who must write as part of their job, being able to write well is essential. Writing for business means being able to capture participants’ thoughts on paper so they are strong and persuasive, but at the same time clear, concise, complete, and correct.
We can think about writing either as a process or as a product; the finished piece of writing. If we think of writing as a process, then we can change the outcome or the product. We can do this by changing our writing techniques and developing our writing skills. The Business Writing That Works Courseware teaches participants that while they will still be aiming to turn out a good final writing product, however their sense of satisfaction will arise partly from a greater appreciation of the process by which they get there. This two-day workshop will concentrate on the nitty-gritty details that writers have to contend with, and give them some practical advice on making the job less difficult. Participants of the Business Writing That Works Course will also have opportunity to discuss their writing problems and share solutions with others in the workshop.

Participants will learn to:

•    Have a better grasp of the basics of writing—grammar, spelling, punctuation and sentence structure
•    Practice the ability to write concisely and clearly, so that the reader will grasp quickly the message of the written material
•    Learn the process of gathering material, putting it in a format that addresses the points under discussion, and bringing closure to the   situation, through recommendations or next steps
•    Develop a writing style in keeping with that used by experienced writers
