Report and Proposal Writing
Is this programme for you?
The Report and Proposal Writing programme is designed for those who need to write comprehensive reports and proposals.
This programme is ideal for-
- Managers
- Executives
- And those who write for them
- It’s pitched towards those who need to get complex information across to multiple audiences in an easy-to-read way.
If this is what you’re after, then feel free to telephone or email us. And we’re always happy to tailor our programmes to meet your specific needs.
Why this programme?
Managers and executives need to make informed decisions. And those decisions often swing on the strength of a report or proposal. So, like it or not, reports and proposals are a necessary part of business these days.
But here’s the challenge. The demand for well written business documents far exceeds the number of people trained to write them.
Our Report and Proposal Writing programme meets that challenge head on. In two days we’ll show you simple ways to produce persuasive, clear, well written documents.
How we run the workshops
Like all our courses, Report and Proposal Writing is presented in a stress-free way. The workshops are highly interactive. We use accelerated learning techniques to implant the key ideas - quickly, easily.
- Day 1 -we explore how and why people read the way they do. We lay the ground-work for good writing. And we cover the writing needs of today’s managers and executives.
- Day 2 -we bring the valuable insights gleaned from the first day into reality, through a variety of practical sessions. And you’ll be able to connect these writing insights immediately to the world in which you work.
Our aim is to keep the learning experience simple and enjoyable. After all, who says learning has to be hard work?
What you will learn
The workshops assume that you have some experience in business writing. But you don’t need to be an expert, just be willing to learn.
We build on the knowledge you already possess and cover these topics-
- Local and international trends in report and proposal writing
- Why the business world is now trying to simplify reports
- Taking a reader-centered approach
- Concept to construction-a practical guide to report-building
- How to produce a powerful one-page executive summary
- Why knowing how to self-edit is a must for anyone writing a report
Follow-up
A week or two after you’ve attended our course we’ll ask you to submit a sample of your writing. This could be any work-related document. We’ll then-
- Assess your writing
- And provide e-coaching on the relevant issues
By this stage, your business writing will be enhanced. And you’ll be constantly using the new skills you received in the Report and Proposal Writing programme.
