Writing Great Reports

Duration:     9:00 till 4:30 pm


Why Attend?

A good report can be made available to many people within the organisation or around the world. It can also demonstrate the writer's knowledge of the subject and quality of thinking.

This course outlines the six steps to successful report writing. By focusing on the objectives, organising points into related groups and using the four Ps (Position, Problem, Possibilities and Proposals) report authors will ensure their document forwards a constructive and compelling argument.

We will demonstrate how avoiding the use of jargon and keeping words, sentences and paragraphs short and simple, will contribute to a report's overall effectiveness. Additionally, making the report look readable will
encourage its recipients to read and respond to it.

By including headings, sub-headings, double line spacing and appendices, great ideas that may have otherwise been overlooked stand a better chance of becoming reality.

Upon completion, participants will be better able to:

Identify the key components of an effective report

Plan the report with regard to purpose, audience and information

Choose from nine structures to maximise the effectiveness of the information

Prepare the report to inform and/or persuade
