Workshop on
Business Writing Skills
in the Internet Age
Introduction
Clear Crisp communication is the key differentiator of successful professionals. This workshop gives you tried and tested techniques to improve your style, to write more succinctly and deliver more meaning to your reader.
Practical exercises allow you to understand how best to choose appropriate vocabulary, how to make your writing flow, and how to add variety. In particular, the suitability of your chosen writing style is assessed against various criteria. We examine the different ways in which we can phrase detail, how we can avoid redundant language, omit cliché and, as far as possible, understand the perspective of our reader.
