Professional Development
Get to the Point - 15 March 2012
15 Mar 2012
We all know the importance of documents that ‘get to the point’.
But how do we do that without wasting time on endless drafts?
This half day workshop uses conceptual framework for clear and concise professional writing that will help you craft strong, targeted messages for your readers.
You will benefit from this workshop by
- recognising the thinking processes that precede writing
- discovering key distinctions about your readers and understanding how those distinctions impact on your structural choices
- gaining useful techniques for writing documents for decision makers
- cutting down the time you take to produce a first draft
- writing clearly and objectively no matter how complicated or technical your content
- learning the craft of clever story telling
Optional coaching
It can often take some time and practice to grasp new writing concepts so IPAA is providing an in-house consulting service to assist participants on-the-job with documents they are in the process of writing.
