This course, designed for team leaders, supervisors, and managers, provides structured guidance for writing reports and business cases.

Course Overview

Participants will learn to plan effectively by identifying the purpose, audience, context, and constraints of their documents. They will then learn techniques to brainstorm key points and create content hierarchies that help the audience navigate the document efficiently.

Participants will be introduced to the three elements of persuasion – logic, emotion, and credibility. They will learn how to incorporate these elements into their writing to make compelling arguments and influence decision-makers effectively, equipping them with the skills and techniques needed to produce documents that inform, persuade, and drive action within their organisations.

Duration and Delivery

This course offers two options:

  • a full-day intensive (8 hours)
  • a half-day introduction (4 hours)

 

Both options are available either as face-to-face sessions for up to 18 participants or as virtual sessions for up to 9 participants.

Course Customisation

To ensure our training meets the specific needs of your organisation, our Instructional Design Team will facilitate a virtual meeting to customise and contextualise the content. This will include activities in line with your workplace procedures and practices, and develop suitable activities, scenarios, and workplace application strategies to ensure meaningful outcomes.

Course Inclusions

  • Workbook – a take-away workbook of content, activities and notes from the workshop
  • Customisation is included in the course cost

Optional Extra

We recommend an eLearning module be completed by participants prior to the workshop. This pre-learning will provide the underpinning knowledge for theorists and reflectors and allow the session to be more practical and application based (additional $59 pp).
