Overview:
Writing succinctly, creating ‘cut through’ or persuading specific audiences are not skills learned in high school or university. Yet such skills in reporting can pay big dividends to organisations through time saving, clarity of message and the removal of frustration. Further, proposals are responsible for the future business growth or survival of most organisations, so these skills are crucial to writing proposals that win business or gain access to vital resources on internal projects.

This two-day course follows on from the writing processes taught in the ‘Dramatic Grammatics’ and ‘Write it Right’ programs. It focuses on taking writing to the next level. Combined with a calculated structure, lots of practice and examples, individuals gain the confidence and competence in writing high-quality reports and proposals.
