Business Correspondence and Report Writing (BCRW)
كتابة المراسلات وإعداد التقارير
The aim of this practical training is to equip participants with best practice techniques in order to write reports which are read, understood and acted upon.
The training is designed to be highly interactive and give participants a chance to review issues with reports that they are currently working on or have recently produced. The workshop provides the opportunity to put the ideas discussed into practice, so that participants go away able to produce technical reports which reach the required high standards.
Businesspeople have an increasing need to communicate facts clearly, concisely and in a way which gets the message across to their readers. Technical facts, results of investigations, progress reports, communications with customers etc. all have to be written to the highest possible standards, and with their particular type of reader in mind.
When writing a report, we are trying to convey a message in a way which helps the reader get that message. Yet how often do we think we’ve written what we wanted to convey, yet the reader gets the wrong impression?
Whether writing to customers or colleagues, business professionals must not only convey the required message or information, but they must do so in a way which impresses the reader and helps them make use of the information provided.
