Reports

Good reports are influential and can help drive businesses forward. Poor reports aren’t read and get left to gather dust. Poor reports can be too short or too long.

Our approach to report writing is to focus on the key essentials:

• Who the report is for
• How to structure a report
• The importance of an executive summary
• How to write concisely
• Good use of visual material and statistics

Writing letters

We’ve lost count of the number of CEOs who have cringed when they have seen the quality of letters that have been sent out by staff on company headed paper. We’ve also been struck by the number of senior managers who feel compelled to get the red pen out to make corrections on standard letters.

Good letter writing consists of getting the basics right, good structuring, getting the message across and doing so in the right tone.

Emails

Press that ‘send’ button and there’s no going back. Emails often take on a distinctly different personality to the letter. They have become very informal, and are often poorly written. Many managers now are confronted with an email inbox that easily tops 60 or 70 per day, so it’s a case of keeping your communications concise, relevant and effective. We show you how.
