All topics are followed by practical exercises, group work, comments, feedback and an opportunity to apply the acquired skills to participants’ own text. What are the benefits? You will start by mastering the most engaging way to structure the detailed content of your report so that it is easy to understand and as persuasive as possible for your stakeholders. You will learn how to leverage language in a clear, user-friendly and economic manner so that you can make a strong impact on your readers, especially when it comes to your Executive Summary and your financial review and your action recommendations. Furthermore, you will gain a series of tools which will help you to both cure writer’s block and make the report writing process up to three times quicker.
